The Restful Yoke of the Father's Will




 "When and how much his creatures can do or bear, only God understands. But when it seems most impossible to do or bear, we must be most confident that he will neither demand too much, nor fail with the vital Creator-help. That help will be there when needed...To be able beforehand to imagine ourselves doing or bearing, we have neither claim nor need.

It is vain to think that any weariness, however caused, any burden, however slight, may be got rid of otherwise than by bowing the neck to the yoke of the Father's will. There can be no other rest for heart and soul that he has created..."
