“Be sure of your call to every business you go about. Though it is the least business, be sure of your call to it; then, whatever you meet with, you may quiet your heart with this: I know I am where God would have me. Nothing in the world will quiet the heart so much as this: when I meet with any cross, I know I am where God would have me, in my place and calling; I am about the work that God has set me.” KnowsWorldHeartMayCallingQuietCrosses Book:The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Source: The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
“When [the saints] perform actions to God, then the soul says: 'Oh! that I could do what pleases God!' When they come to suffer any cross: 'Oh, that what God does might please me!' I labour to do what pleases God, and I labour that what God does shall please me: here is a Christian indeed, who shall endeavour both these. It is but one side of a Christian to endeavour to do what pleases God; you must as well endeavour to be pleased with what God does, and so you will come to be a complete Christian when you can do both, and that is the first thing in the excellence of this grace of contentment.” FirstsWellsDoeSoulMightActionChristianSufferingSidesCan DoGracePleaseCrossesExcellenceSaintContentmentLabourEndeavourPlease Me Author:Jeremiah Burroughs
