Christ Teaches By The Spirit Of Wisdom

See What A Hidden Life The Life Of A Good Christian Is, And How Much It Is Concealed From The Eye And Observation Of The World. The Most Important Part Of The Business Lies Between God And Our Own Souls, In The Frame Of Our Spirits And The Working Of Our Hearts, In Our Actions That No Eye Sees Except The All-seeing God. Justly Are The Saints Called God's Hidden Ones, And His Secret Is Said To Be With Them. They Have Meat To Eat And Work To Do That The World Does Not Know Of, As Well As Joys, Griefs, And Cares That A Stranger Does Not Share.

I Thank Thee First Because I Was Never Robbed Before; Second, Because Although They Took My Purse They Did Not Take My Life; Third, Because Although They Took My All, It Was Not Much; And Fourth Because It Was I Who Was Robbed, And Not I Who Robbed.

Those Who Teach By Their Doctrine Must Teach By Their Life, Or Else They Pull Down With One Hand What They Build Up With The Other.

By The Light Of Nature We See God As A God Above Us, By The Light Of The Law We See Him As A God Against Us, But By The Light Of The Gospel We See Him As Emmanuel, God With Us.
