Strive To See God In All Things

Friendships Begun In This World Will Be Taken Up Again, Never To Be Broken Off.

There Is Nothing As Strong As Tenderness, And Nothing As Tender As True Strength.

Do Not Scrutinize So Closely Whether You Are Doing Much Or Little, Ill Or Well, So Long As What You Do Is Not Sinful And That You Are Heartily Seeking To Do Everything For God. Try As Far As You Can To Do Everything Well, But When It Is Done, Do Not Think About It. Try, Rather, To Think Of What Is To Be Done Next. Go On Simply In The Lord's Way, And Do Not Torment Yourself. We Ought To Hate Our Faults, But With A Quiet, Calm Hatred; Not Pettishly And Anxiously.

Do Not Look Forward To What May Happen Tomorrow; The Same Everlasting Father Who Cares For You Today Will Take Care Of You Tomorrow And Every Day. Either He Will Shield You From Suffering, Or He Will Give You Unfailing Strength To Bear It. Be At Peace, Then, Put Aside All Anxious Thoughts And Imaginations, And Say Continually: 'the Lord Is My Strength And My Shield; My Heart Has Trusted In Him And I Am Helped. He Is Not Only With Me But In Me And I In Him.'

He Who Can Preserve Gentleness Amid Pains, And Peace Amid Worry Multitude Of Affairs, Is Almost Perfect.
