“Be not afraid, though every stay Should fail, or be removed away, And thou be stript of all; But lose thyself in that vast sea, The ocean of the Deity, And all they cares shall fall. In death which is the most profound, The purest life is always found; Then, blindly, all forego! He ne're shall find, who will not lose; Who sinks from self, shall gain repose, Which none but he can know.” KnowsShouldSelfCareLife IsFallFoundLosesFailingSeaOceanGainsProfoundTemptationNot AfraidDeitiesThyselfRepose Author:Gerhard Tersteegen
“Your own self-will and anxiety, your hurry and labor, disturb your peace and prevent Me from working in you. Look at the little flowers, in the serene summer days; they quietly open their petals, and the sun shines into them with its gentle influences. So I will do for you, if you will yield yourself to me.” IfsLooksLittlesSelfGodSunInfluenceFlowerAnxietySummerLaborShiningGentleYieldSerenePetalsSun ShinesSelf WillSummer Days Author:Gerhard Tersteegen
