The Only Safe Ruler Is He Who

O Lord, You Know What Is Best For Me. Let This Or That Be Done, As You Please. Give What You Will, How Much You Will, And When You Will.

Jesus Has Many Lovers Of His Kingdom Of Heaven, But He Has Few Bearers Of His Cross. Many Desire His Consolation, But Few Desire His Tribulation. He Finds Many Comrades In Eating And Drinking, But He Finds Few Hands Who Will Be With Him In His Abstinence And Fastingbut Those Who Love Jesus Purely For Himself, And Not For Their Own Profit Or Convenience, Bless Him As Heartily In Temptation And Tribulation And In All Other Adversities As They Do In Time Of Consolation. And If He Never Sent Them Consolation, They Would Still Bless And Praise Him.

Some People Are Tempted Most Strongly At The Beginning Of Their Spiritual Life, Others Near The End. Some Are Troubled All Their Lives. Still Others Receive Only Light Temptation. Such Things Are Decided By God, And We Can Trust His Wisdom.

Wherever You Go, You Will Always Bear Yourself About With You, And So You Will Always Find Yourself.

For The Multitude Of Worldly Friends Profiteth Not, Nor May Strong Helpers Anything Avail, Nor Wise Counselors Give Profitable Counsel, Nor The Cunning Of Doctors Give Consolation, Nor Riches Deliver In Time Of Need, Nor A Secret Place To Defend, If Thou, Lord, Do Not Assist, Help, Comfort, Counsel, Inform, And Defend.
