I Have To Hurry All Day To

I Know Not The Way God Leads Me, But Well Do I Know My Guide.

As Long As A Man Is Persuaded That He Can Make Even The Smallest Contribution To His Salvation, He Remains Self-confident And Does Not Utterly Despair Of Himself, And So Is Not Humbled Before God. Such A Man Plans Out For Himself A Position, An Occasion, A Work, Which Shall Bring Him Final Salvation, But Which Will Not.

Why Do You Rant And Brag With Such A Spate Of Words, As If You Wanted To Overwhelm Me With A Sort Of Tempest And Deluge Of Oratory-which Nevertheless Falls With The Greater Force On Your Own Head, While My Ark Rides Aloft In Safety?

The Great Unthankfulness, Contempt Of God's Word, And Wilfulness Of The World, Make Me Fear That The Divine Light Will Soon Cease To Shine On Man, For God's Word Has Ever Had Its Certain Course.

God Works By Contraries So That A Man Feels Himself To Be Lost In The Very Moment When He Is On The Point Of Being Saved.
