The chief design in John Owen's life:

"I hope I may own in sincerity that my heart's desire unto God, and the chief design of my life ... are, that mortification and universal holiness may be promoted in my own and in the hearts and ways of others, to the glory of God, that so the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ may be adorned in all things." -John Owen

I repeated this prayer today in light of the students God has placed in my life

Excellent. Reminds me of Titus 2:10, an amazing verse which proclaims the purpose of our good deeds and character is to adorn the doctrine of God OUR SAVIOR in every respect. Adorn is quite the little word, isn't it? Again, reminds me of God ADORNING us in the righteousness of Christ.
