Thou Shalt Rest Sweetly If Thy Heart

The More Humble And Obedient To God A Man Is, The More Wise And At Peace He Will Be In All That He Does.

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.

A Pure, Sincere, And Stable Spirit Is Not Distracted Though It Be Employed In Many Works; For That It Works All To The Honor Of God, And Inwardly Being Still And Quiet, Seeks Not Itself In Any Thing It Doth.

Wait For The Lord. Behave Yourself Manfully, And Be Of Good Courage. Do Not Be Faithless, But Stay In Your Place And Do Not Turn Back.

Do Not Read To Satisfy Curiosity Or To Pass The Time, But Study Such Things As Move Your Heart To Devotion.
