precious, manifested as it is in the Person of Jesus... when I, too,
turn my eyes to Jesus, when I contemplate all His obedience, His
purity, His grace, His tenderness, His patience, His devotedness,
His holiness, His love, His entire freedom from all self-seeking, I
can say, That is my life." -- John Nelson Darby.
