Popular quotes about Sweet! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 27
This skin, this hair, all this outside stuff. It isn't me. It's just my package. It's like the wrapper around the sweet; it isn't the sweet itself. What we really are is all inside the package.

To elaborate is no avail .... Learned and unlearned feel that it is so.
Walt WhitmanWhat you need to do, is to put your will over completely into the hands of your Lord, surrendering to Him the entire control of it. Say, "Yes, Lord, YES!" to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will.

It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one.
