Learn to let others do their share of the work. Things may be done less well, but you will have more peace of soul and health of body. And what temporal interest should we not sacrifice in order to gain these blessings?

Those who desire only the good pleasure of God abide in peace even in the midst of failure, for God has not told us that He requires success of us.

Do not look back to the past, nor forward to the future. Claim only the present, for it holds God's will.

Jesus, I live for Thee, I labor for Thee, I desire only Thee. Thou in me and I in Thee; Thou with me and I with Thee; Thou all mine and I all Thine.

Let us bear our cross and leave it to God to determine the length and the weight.

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self.
