Be not afraid of those trials which God may see fit
to send upon thee. It
is with the wind and storm of tribulation that God separates
the true wheat
from the chaff. Always remember, therefore, that God
comes to thee in thy
sorrows, as really as in thy joys. He lays low, and
He builds up. Thou wilt
find thyself far from perfection, if thou dost not find
God in everything.
M. DE MOLINOS.
God hath provided a sweet and quiet life for His children,
could they
improve and use it; a calm and firm conviction in all
the storms and
troubles that are about them, however things go, to
find content, and be
careful for nothing.
