Only Source of Rest

"No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all dependence on everything else

and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone.

As long as our expectation is from other things,

nothing but disappointment awaits us.

Feelings may change, and will change with our changing circumstances;

doctrines and dogmas may be upset;

Christian work may come to naught;

prayers may seem to lose their fervency;

promises may seem to fail;

everything that we have believed in or depended upon may seem to be swept away,

and only God is left, ... simply and only God."
