Let Gratitude For The Past

It Is When God Appears To Have Abandoned Us That We Must Abandon Ourselves Most Wholly To God.

Commit Yourself Then To God! He Will Be Your Guide. He Himself Will Travel With You, As We Are Told He Did With The Israelites, To Bring Them Step By Step Across The Desert To The Promised Land. Ah! What Will Be Your Blessedness, If You Will But Surrender Yourself Into The Hands Of God, Permitting Him To Do Whatever He Will, Not According To Your Desires, But According To His Own Good Pleasure?

As A General Rule, Those Truths Which We Highly Relish, And Which Shed A Degree Of Practical Light Upon The Things Which We Are Required To Give Up For God, Are Leadings Of Divine Grace, Which We Should Follow Without Hesitation.

Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit." Blessed Are They Who Are Stripped Of Every Thing, Even Of Their Own Wills, That They May No Longer Belong To Themselves.

The Presence Of God Calms The Soul, And Gives It Quiet And Repose.
