Spiritual Letters

I pray often to God that He would keep you in the hollow of his hand.
The most essential point is lowliness. It is profitable for all things,
for it produces a teachable spirit which makes everything easy. You
would be more guilty than many others if you made any resistance to God
on this point. On the one hand, you have received abundant light and
grace on the necessity of becoming like a little child; and on the
other, no one has had an experience fitter to humiliate the heart and
destroy self-confidence. The great profit to be derived from an
experience of our weakness, is to render us lowly and obedient. May the
Lord keep you!
