Spiritual Delight In God Arises

There Are People Who Love Those Who Agree With Them And Admire Them, But Have No Time For Those Who Oppose And Dislike Them. A Christian’s Love Must Be Universal!

The Soul Of A True Christian, As I Then Wrote My Meditations, Appeared Like Such A Little White Flower As We See In The Spring Of The Year; Low And Humble On The Ground, Opening Its Bosom To Receive The Pleasant Beams Of The Sun’s Glory; Rejoicing, As It Were, In A Calm Rapture; Diffusing Around A Sweet Fragrancy; Standing Peacefully And Lovingly, In The Midst Of Other Flowers Round About; All In Like Manner Opening Their Bosoms To Drink In The Light Of The Sun.

Resolved, When I Feel Pain, To Think Of The Pains Of Martyrdom, And Of Hell.

Nothing Is More Certain Than That There Must Be An Unmade And Unlimited Being.

If I Murmur In The Least At Affliction, If I Am In Any Way Uncharitable, If I Revenge My Own Case, If I Do Anything Purely To Please Myself Or Omit Anything Because It Is A Great Denial, If I Trust Myself, If I Take Any Praise For Any Good Which Christ Does By Me, Or If I Am In Any Way Proud, I Shall Act As My Own And Not God’s.
