I read this yesterday in Daily Strength for Daily Needs, a collection by Mary W. Tileston, for every day of the year, of Scriptures and excellent quotes. This spoke to me, because I have a tendency to want to tell too many of the details of physical troubles, OR Heart troubles.
"Every day deny yourself some satisfaction; bearing all the inconveniences of life (for the love of God), cold, hunger, restless nights, ill health, unwelcome news, the faults of servants [!], contempt, ingratitude of friends, malice of enemies, calumnies, our own failings, lowness of spirits, the struggle in overcoming our corruptions;--bearing all these with patience and resignation to the will of God. Do all this as unto God, with the greatest privacy." ~Bishop Wilson
"When thou hast thanked thy God
For every blessing sent,
What time will then remain
For murmurs or lament?"
~ R. C. Trench
Conviction~~enough said!
