The More Perfect We Are, The More

It Is Not The Multitude Of Hard Duties, It Is Not The Constraint And Contention That Advance Us In Our Christian Course. On The Contrary, It Is The Yielding Of Our Wills Without Restriction And Without Choice To Tread Cheerfully Every Day In The Path In Which Providence Leads Us. It Is To Seek Nothing, To Be Discouraged By Nothing, To See Our Duty In The Present Moment, And To Trust All Else Without Reserve To The Will And Power Of God.

Thou Lovest Like An Infinite God When Thou Lovest; Thou Movest Heaven And Earth To Save Thy Loved Ones. Thou Becomest Man, A Babe, The Vilest Of Men, Covered With Reproaches, Dying With Infamy And Under The Pangs Of The Cross; All This Is Not Too Much For An Infinite Love.

How Desirable Is This Simplicity! Who Will Give It To Me? I Will Quit All Else; It Is The Pearl Of Great Price.

I No Longer Desire Anything But To Be Thine.

Never Let Us Be Discouraged With Ourselves. It Is Not When We Are Conscious Of Our Faults That We Are The Most Wicked; On The Contrary, We Are Less So. We See By A Brighter Light; And Let Us Remember For Our Consolation, That We Never Perceive Our Sins Till We Begin To Cure Them.
