God only is holy; He alone knows how to lead His children in the paths
of holiness. He knows every aspect of your soul, every thought of your
heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and hindrances;
He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to perfect
sanctification; He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each
temptation, will tell upon you, and He disposes all things accordingly.
The consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your
whole life. You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more
unreservedly, asking nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but
what He wills; not seeking to bring things about for yourself, taking
all He sends joyfully, and believing the “one step” set before you to be
enough for you. You will be satisfied that even though there are clouds
around, and your way seems dark, He is directing all, and that what
seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills it.
—JEAN NICOLAS GROU
