"Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them." Ps. cxix.165
I rest beneath the Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed. Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. ~C. Wesley.
One great sign of the practical recognition of the "divine moment," and of our finding God's habitation in it, is constant calmness and peace of mind.
Events and things come with the moment; but God comes with them too. So that if He comes in the sunshine, we find rest and joy; and if He comes in the storm, we know He is King of the storms, and our hearts are not troubled. God Himself, though possessing a heart filled with the tenderest feelings, is, nevertheless, an everlasting tranquility; and when we enter into His holy tabernacle, our souls necessarily enter into the tabernacle of rest. ~T.C. Upham
My soul was not only brought into harmony with itself and with God, but with God's providences. In the exercise of faith and love, I endured and performed whatever came in God's providence, in submission, in thankfulness, and silence. ~Madame Guyon.
