Does God look upon you with love? What a subject to be in doubt about! In his goodness He looks down with love upon the most terrible sinner, have he never so little true desire to be converted.
305.
When shall we become wholly dead to ourselves in the sight of God, and live that new life in which we shall no longer wish to do anything of ourselves, but leave God to do all that He will through us, and let his living will act upon ours, wholly dead in his love?
306.
Jesus our Heart, our Heart of Hearts, lovingly watches over us.
307.
Rest your spirit upon the stone which was represented by the one beneath the head of Jacob, for it is the same upon which St. John reposed on the day when his Master manifested the excess of his love.
308.
Behold St. Peter; fear is a greater evil than the evil which is feared; it would have caused him to perish in the waters had not his Master saved him. Oh! child of little faith, fear not! You are walking on the waters, in the midst of the wind and waves, but it is with Jesus; if fear seizes you cry loudly, “Lord, save me or I perish!” He will extend his hand to you; clasp it firmly and go on joyously.
