Obedience Is A Consecration Of The Heart,

Though Perseverance Does Not Come From Our Power, Yet It Comes Within Our Power.

The Highest Point Of Humility Consists In Not Merely Acknowledging One's Abjection, But In Taking Pleasure Therein, Not From Any Want Of Breadth Or Courage, But To Give The More Glory To God's Divine Majesty, And To Esteem One's Neighbour More Highly Than One's Self.

The Enemy Often Tries To Make Us Attempt And Start Many Projects So That We Will Be Overwhelmed With Too Many Tasks, And Therefore Achieve Nothing And Leave Everything Unfinished. Sometimes He Even Suggests The Wish To Undertake Some Excellent Work That He Foresees We Will Never Accomplish. This Is To Distract Us From The Prosecution Of Some Less Excellent Work That We Would Have Easily Completed. He Does Not Care How Many Plans And Beginnings We Make, Provided Nothing Is Finished.

Be Not Miserable About What May Happen Tomorrow. The Same Everlasting Father, Who Cares For You Today, Will Care For You Tomorrow.

Do Not Desire Crosses, Unless You Have Borne Those Already Laid Upon You Well — It Is An Abuse To Long After Martyrdom While Unable To Bear An Insult Patiently.
