"The greatest glory we can give to God is to do his will in everything." * * * "It is vanity to be concerned with the present only and not to make provision for things to come." * * * "The essence of perfection is to embrace the will of God in all things, prosperous or adverse. In prosperity, even sinners find it easy to unite themselves to the divine will; but it takes saints to unite themselves to God's will when things go wrong and are painful to self-love. Our conduct in such instances is the measure of our love of God." * * * |
