The Will of God

John 4:34
Yet I will wait, in labour still,
In Thy blest service here;
What Thou hast given me to fulfil —
Thy will — to me is dear!

“If I have no motive but my Father's will, how astonishingly it simplifies everything. If you never thought of doing a thing, except because it was God's positive will that you should do it, how many things of your life would at once disappear; not in a constant struggle against one thing and another, but in the quiet consciousness that the grace of God has provided for everything, that you do not take a step, but what His love has provided for.”
