"Lose no opportunity in bringing home to yourself Our Lord's particular individual love of you, shown in even the smallest details of your life.
It is God's peculiar prerogative, because He alone is infinitely wise and all-powerful, to be able so to direct and rule each single life as if that person alone was the centre of the universe, and all things else were ordered for her advantage, solely and entirely.
When I rise in the morning I can say with truth, 'This day, in all its circumstances, with all its consequences, has been appointed and fashioned to help me love and serve God better'. Then you have only to fall in with your changes of duties, or with the state of your health, or with the conduct of others towards you (which all has been foreseen and allowed for by God), secure in the knowledge that you are travelling along the path whereby God Himself wishes you to approach Him.
What peace, what courage, what an increase of love this thought should give us!"
(Words of Encouragement)
Good old Words of Encouragment. Really like those booklets.
