My chief end is to glorify the great I AM, to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly in all His ways, to obey His commands, to hold fast to Him and to serve Him with all my heart and all my soul. Doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than myself. Looking not only to my own interests, but also to the interests of others. So in everything, doing to others what I would have them do to me, knowing the love of Christ, which passes all  knowledge, that I might be filled with all the fulness of God that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that worketh in me,  unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.©
