Once More, Never Think That You Can

O How Much Mercy Have I Received The Year Past! How Often Has God Caused His Goodness To Pass Before Me! And How Poorly Have I Answered The Vows I Made This Time Twelve-month, To Be Wholly The Lord's, To Be Forever Devoted To His Service! The Lord Help Me To Live More To His Glory For The Time To Come. This Has Been A Sweet, A Happy Day To Me; Blessed Be God... I Hardly Ever So Longed To Live To God And To Be Altogether Devoted To Him. I Wanted To Wear Out My Life In His Service, And For His Glory.

I Have Withstood The Power Of Convictions A Long Time; And Therefore I Fear I Shall Be Finally Left Of God.

I Care Not Where I Go, Or How I Live, Or What I Endure So That I May Save Souls. When I Sleep I Dream Of Them; When I Awake They Are First In My Thoughts.

Toward Night, I Felt My Soul Rejoice, That God Is Unchangeable Happy And Glorious And That He Will Be Glorified, Whatever Becomes Of His Creatures.

I Love To Live Alone In My Own Little Cottage, Where I Can Spend Much Time In Prayer, Etc
