But for I am a woman should I therefore live that I should not tell you the goodness of God?

Wherefore me behoveth needs to grant that all-thing that is done, it is well-done: for our Lord God doeth all.

... so our customary practice of prayer was brought to mind: how through our ignorance and inexperience in the ways of love we spend so much time on petition. I saw that it is indeed more worthy of God and more truly pleasing to him that through his goodness we should pray with full confidence, and by his grace cling to him with real understanding and unshakeable love, than that we should go on making as many petitions as our souls are capable of.

Glad and merry and sweet is the blessed and lovely demeanour of our Lord towards our souls, for he saw us always living in love-longing, and he wants our souls to be gladly disposed toward him . . . by his grace he lifts up and will draw our outer disposition to our inward, and will make us all at unity with him, and each of us with others in the true, lasting joy which is Jesus.

God is nearer to us than our own spirit

As truly as God is our Father, so truly God is our Mother.

That which is impossible to thee is not impossible to me: I shall save my word in all things and I shall make all things well.
