Silence and Yielding













Anxiety and misgiving proceed solely
from love of self. God accomplishes
all things quietly and completely, it
is not anxious or uncertain. The Spirit
of God rests continually in quietness.
Perfect love casteth out fear. It is
in forgetfulness of self that we find
peace.
Happy is he who yields himself
completely, unconsciously, and finally
to God. Listen to the inward whisper of
His Spirit and follow it - that is enough;
but to listen one must be silent and to
follow one must yield.
