Divine Love Is Perfect Peace And Joy,

If Contempt Of The World And Heavenly Affection Is A Necessary Temper Of Christians, It Is Necessary That This Temper Appear In The Whole Course Of Their Lives, In Their Manner Of Using The World, Because It Can Have No Place Anywhere Else.

They, Therefore, Who Are Hasty In Their Devotions And Think A Little Will Do, Are Strangers Both To The Nature Of Devotion And The Nature Of Man; They Do Not Know That They Are To Learn To Pray, And That Prayer Is To Be Learnt As They Learn Other Things, By Frequency, Constancy, And Perseverance.

You Are To Think Of Yourself As Only Existing In This World To Do God's Will. To Think That You Are Your Own Is As Absurd As To Think You Are Self-created. It Is An Obvious First Principle That You Belong Completely To God.

Reading Is Good, Hearing Is Good, Conversation And Meditation Are Good; But Then, They Are Only Good At Times And Occasions, In A Certain Degree, And Must Be Used And Governed With Such Caution As We Eat And Drink And Refresh Ourselves, Or They Will Bring Forth In Us The Fruits Of Intemperance.

Love Has No Errors, For All Errors Are The Want For Love.
