How Does Our Will Become

This Poor World, The Object Of So Much Insane Attachment, We Are About To Leave; It Is But Misery, Vanity, And Folly; A Phantom--the Very Fashion Of Which "passeth Away.

How Different The Peace Of God From That Of The World! It Calms The Passions, Preserves The Purity Of The Conscience, Is Inseparable From Righteousness, Unites Us To God And Strengthens Us Against Temptations. The Peace Of The Soul Consists In An Absolute Resignation To The Will Of God.

As The Reflections Of Our Pride Upon Our Defects Are Bitter, Disheartening, And Vexatious, So The Return Of The Soul Towards God Is Peaceful And Sustained By Confidence. You Will Find By Experience How Much More Your Progress Will Be Aided By This Simple, Peaceful Turning Towards God, Than By All Your Chagrin And Spite At .the Faults That Exist In You.

It Is Often Our Own Imperfection Which Makes Us Reprove The Imperfection Of Others; A Sharp-sighted Self-love Of Others

If We Love Him Infinitely More Than We Do Ourselves, We Make An Unconditional Sacr Here It Is That The Spirit Teaches Us All Truth; For All Truth Is Eminently Contained In This Sacrifice Of Love, Where The Soul Strips Itself Of Every Thing To Present It To God.
