The Lord Delights In Every Little Step

Have Patience With All Things, But, First Of All With Yourself.

To Be Pleased At Correction And Reproofs Shows That One Loves The Virtues Which Are Contrary To Those Faults For Which He Is Corrected And Reproved. And, Therefore, It Is A Great Sign Of Advancement In Perfection.

Don't Get Upset With Your Imperfections. It's A Great Mistake Because It Leads Nowhere - To Get Angry Because You Are Angry, Upset At Being Upset, Depressed At Being Depressed, Disappointed Because You Are Disappointed. So Don't Fool Yourself. Simply Surrender To The Power Of God's Love, Which Is Always Greater Than Our Weakness.

While Extremely Sensitive As To The Slightest Approach To Slander, You Must Also Guard Against An Extreme Into Which Some People Fall, Who, In Their Desire To Speak Evil Of No One, Actually Uphold And Speak Well Of Vice.

Is It Not A Great Temptation To Be So Valiant In Imagination And So Cowardly In Execution?
