Entire Consecration.

Says Pres. Edwards: “I claim no right to myself, no right in this understanding, this will, these affections that are in me; neither have I any right to this body, of its members—no right to this tongue, these hands, nor feet; no right to these senses, these eyes, these ears, this smell or taste. I have given myself clear away.

I pray God, for the sake of Christ, to look upon me as a self-dedication, and to receive me now as entirely his own, deal with me in all respects as such—whether he afflicts or prospers me, or whatever he pleases to do to me, who am his. Now henceforth I am not to act in any respect as my own.”
