rather what God will do with him.”
“Whoever considers himself worthy of more than he has is not
humble; the humble man sees himself as unworthy even of what is accorded to
him.”
“What a terrible setback it is when, having finished your
work, you do not turn towards Him, and that, even when obstacles are few, you
do not the more eagerly pursue your journey towards Him.”

you (something), just as He may, in denying you something, be really bestowing
a gift upon you.”

who is negligent of God is insatiable for the gifts of God.”
