We are always on the anvil by trials God is shaping us for higher things.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
