I see you with your vigorous heart which loves and wills powerfully. I like it, for what are those half-dead hearts good for? We must make a particular exercise once every week of willing to love the will of God more tenderly, more affectionately than anything in the world, and that, too, not only in bearable but in the most unbearable events.
30.
Even at a time when you had not so much confidence in God, did you perish in affliction? Then why have you not courage to meet all other trials?
31.
Plant in your heart Jesus Christ Crucified, and all the crosses of this world will seem to you like roses.
32.
We must not only be willing that God should strike us, but we must accept that He shall strike us where He wills.
33.
Lord Jesus, without reserve, without an if, without a but, without exception, without limitation, may thy holy will be done in all things, at all times.
