Wesley Corpus

To his Niece Sarah Wesley Date: BLACKBURN, April 21, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- What a comfort it is, my dear Sally, to think the Lord liveth! Nay, and that our union with our human friends will be more perfect hereafter than it can be while we are encumbered with the house of clay You did not send me those verses before. They were very proper to be his last, as being worthy of one bought by the blood of the Lamb and just going forth to meet Him! Now, my Sally, make the best of life. Whereunto you have attained hold fast. But you have not yet received the Spirit of adoption, crying in your heart, Abba, Father! See that you do not stop short of all the promises for you! If you feel your want, it will soon be supplied; and God will seal that word upon your heart, 'I am merciful to try unrighteousness, and they sins and iniquities I remember no more.' Dear Sally, adieu!
