Do Not Let Your Peace

Jesus Has Many Who Love The Kingdom Of God, But Few Who Bear A Cross. He Has Many Who Desire His Comfort, But Few Who Desire His Suffering. All Want To Rejoice With Him, But Few Are Willing To Suffer For Him. He Writes; There Are Many Who Admire His Miracles, But There Are Few Who Follow In The Humiliation Of The Cross.

It Thou Seek Rest In This Life, How Wilt Thou Then Attain To The Everlasting Rest? Dispose Not Thyself For Much Rest, But For Great Patience. Seek True Peace--not In Earth, But In Heaven; Not In Men, Nor In Any Other Creature, But In God Alone.

It Is Thy Duty Often Times To Do What Thou Wouldst Not; Thy Duty Too, To Leave Undone That Thou Wouldst Do.

Love Is A Great Thing, Yea, A Great And Thorough Good. By Itself It Makes What Is Heavy Light; And Bears Evenly All That Is Uneven.

Man Proposes, But God Disposes. [lat., Nam Homo Proponit, Sed Deus Disponit.]
