The Presence Of God Calms The Soul,

We Must Have Faith During The Period Of Our Grief. We Think That Our Afflictions Will Be Greater Than We Can Bear, But We Do Not Know The Strength Of Our Own Hearts, Nor The Power Of God. He Knows All. He Knows Every Folding Of The Heart And Also The Extent Of The Sorrow That He Inflicts. What We Think Will Overwhelm Us Entirely Only Subdues And Conquers Our Pride. Our Renewed Spirit Rises From Its Subjugation With A Celestial Strength And Consolation.

If We Were Faultless We Should Not Be So Much Annoyed By The Defects Of Those With Whom We Associate.

Alas! How Many Souls There Are Full Of Self, And Yet Desirous Of Doing Good And Serving God, But In Such A Way As To Suit Themselves; Who Desire To Impose Rules Upon God As To His Manner Of Drawing Them To Himself. They Want To Serve And Possess Him, But They Are Not Willing To Be Possessed By Him.

Listen Less To Your Own Thoughts And More To God's Thoughts.

Exactness And Neatness In Moderation Is A Virtue, But Carried To Extremes Narrows The Mind.
