“Of self-resignation to God as our Owner
Remember that God is your Lord or Owner: and see that you an absolute resignation of yourselves, and all that you have to Him as His own; and use yourselves and all accordingly; trust Him with His own; and rest in His disposals.
It is easy, notionally, to say that God is our Owner, and we are not our own; but if the habitual, practical knowledge of it were as easy, or as common, the happy effects of it would be the sanctification and reformation of the world.”
