Hostility | Women of Christianity

“But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him.

And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon
