Where the soul is full of peace and joy, outward surrounding and circumstances are of comparatively little account.

If the Lord sets you to guard a lonely post in perfect stillness from all active work, you ought to be just as content as to be in the midst of the active warfare. It is no virtue to love the Master's work better than the Master's will.
