Title: Quote for the Day: Ask Yourself Post by: Shin on September 28, 2010, 03:42:26 PM 'If you should find yourself in the sight of God, and one said to you: "Look thither;" and God, on the other hand, should say: "It is not my will that you should look;" ask your own heart what there is in all existing things which would make it right for you to give that look contrary to the will of God.'
St. Anselm of Canterbury from his book, 'Why God Became Man' available on Saints' Books (http://www.saintsbooks.net). :D Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Ask Yourself Post by: Shin on September 28, 2010, 03:45:25 PM This quote, if you ask yourself deeply and in silence.. and more than once..

I don't appreciate obedience enough yet. Well.. who does.. God help us to love obedience.. |
