Good Thoughts To Ponder

Some words of wisdom from my devotional book:

“Beware of letting your care degenerate into anxiety and unrest” Francis De Sales

“We never have more than we can bear. The present hour we are always able to endure. As our day, so is our strength. If the trials of many years were gathered into one, they would overwhelm us; therefore, in pity to our little strength, He sends first one, then another, then removes both, and lays on a third, heavier, perhaps than either; but all is so wisely measured to our strength that the bruised reed is never broken. Each one is sent to teach us something.” H.E. Manning

“We are too fond of our own will. We want to be doing what we think mighty things; but the great point is, to do small things, when called to them, in a right spirit.” R. Cecil

“Lord, Thy will be done in father, mother, child, in everything and everywhere; without a reserve, without a BUT, an IF or a limit.” Francis De Sales

“We ought to thank God daily for the sins we have not committed.” F.W. Faber

“If we are to follow Christ, it must be in our common way of spending every day.” William Law
