Maxim 17 -- Desire little in this world, and what you do desire, desire that very little. And better yet, live without desire and set plans. Abandon yourself, surrendering very gently, to the very loving Providence of God. Scripture References Suggested Application Do I try to accept my work, my companions, my success or failure? Do I live in the present or do I worry needlessly about the future? Does God hold the first place in my life? Do I trust God and rely on God's strength to see me through difficulties? Do I pray for trust? If so, do I show my trust in God by waiting patiently for God to act?< previous maxim next > |
