“June 18th, 1735, being in secret prayer, I felt suddenly my heart melting within me, like wax before the fire, with love to God my Savior. I felt not only love and peace, but also a longing to be dissolved and to be with Christ; and there was a cry in my inmost soul, with which I was totally unacquainted before, it was this- Abba, Father! Abba Father! I could not help calling God my Father; I knew now that I was his child, and that he loved me; my soul being filled and satiated, crying, ‘It is enough- it is enough- I am satisfied; give me strength and I will follow thee through fire and water.’ …there was in me ‘the love of God shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost’ (Rom. 5:5)” Howell Harris
