"God only is holy; He alone knows how to lead His
children in the paths of holiness. He knows every aspect of your soul, every
thought of your heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and
hindrances; He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to
perfect sanctification; He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each
temptation, will tell upon you, and He disposes all things accordingly. The
consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your whole life.
You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more unreservedly, asking
nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but what He wills; not seeking to
bring things about for yourself, taking all He sends joyfully, and believing
the 'one step' set before you to be enough for you. You will be satisfied that
even though there are clouds around, and your way seems dark, He is directing
all, and that what seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills
it."
