In this world continually going wrong, all that we see, have seen, or will see that is beautiful, upright or good comes from inside the gifted, chosen, noble few, the yield of their eager illumined faith. God's grace keeps the gentle soul beyond human entanglements, and her cherished permanent Lover shows her a splendor awaits those who most love, believe in him. Blessed Sun which opens and clears the soul's eye in darkness to see what at first we saw in radiance. So be humble, rid yourself of false ideas, learn it is you have cheated and saddened your own life. |
