Grant Me Prudently To Avoid

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.

Caution Is Crediting, And Reserve In Speaking, And In Revealing One's Self To But Very Few, Are The Best Securities Both Of A Good Understanding With The World, And Of The Inward Peace Of Our Own Minds.

Do Not Let Your Peace Depend On What People Say Of You... True Peace And Joy Is To Be Found In [jesus] Alone.

I Would Far Rather Feel Remorse Than Know How To Define It.

Whoever Would Fully And Feelingly Understand The Words Of Christ, Must Endeavor To Conform His Life Wholly To The Life Of Christ.
