Paths to Himself

"God does not give us everything we want,

but He does fulfill His promises...

leading us along the best and 

straightest paths to Himself." 

~
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The whole benefit of trial consists in silence, 

patience, rest, and resignation. In this condition

 divine strength is found for the hard warfare,

because God Himself fights for the soul.

~M. Molinos

"In the rush and noise of life,

 as you have intervals, 

step home within yourselves and be still. 

Wait upon God, and feel His good presence;

 this will carry you evenly

through your day's business."

 ~William Penn

"Oh, my friend, look not out at what stands in the way; what if it look dreadfully as a lion, is not the Lord stronger than the mountains of prey? but look in, where the law of life is written, and the will of the Lord revealed, that thou mayest know what is the Lord's will concerning thee."
~I. Penington
