It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.

Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.

If there is any verse that you would like left out of the Bible, that is the verse that ought to stick to you, like a blister, until you really attend to its teaching.

If there were any such rule laid down in the Gospel, it would destroy the beauty of spontaneous giving and take away all the bloom from the fruit of your liberality!
