The Mystical Path to Stress Reduction

From the desk of Pastor Roland





Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 CORINTHIANS 12, verse 10.


Whatever God does is well!
In patience let us wait;
He doth Himself our burdens bear,
He doth for us take care,
And He, our God, knows all our weary days.
Come, give Him praise.

B. SCHMOLCK.


Nothing else but this seeing God in
everything will make us loving and patient
with those who annoy and trouble us.
They will be to us then only the instruments
for accomplishing His tender and wise
purposes towards us, and we shall even
find ourselves at last inwardly thanking them
for the blessings they bring us. Nothing else
will completely put an end to all murmuring
or rebelling thoughts.

H. W. SMITH.


The subjection of the will is accomplished by calmly resigning
thyself in everything that internally or externally vexes
thee; for it is thus only that the soul is prepared for
the reception of divine influences. Prepare the heart
like clean paper, and the Divine Wisdom will
imprint on it characters to His own liking.

MICHAEL DE MOLINOS.
