Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.
Can we be unsafe where God has placed us, and where He watches over us as a parent a child that he loves?
How can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, when you are making so much noise with your rapid reflections? Be silent and God will speak again.
God's treasury where He keeps His children's gifts will be like many a mother's store of relics of her children, full of things of no value to others, but precious in His eyes for the love's sake that was in them.
God never makes us sensible of our weakness except to give us of His strength.
The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.
