".…God does nothing arbitrary. If He takes away your health, for instance, it is because He has a reason for doing so; and this is true of everything you value; and if you have real faith in Him, you will not insist on knowing the reason. If you find, in the course of daily events, that your self-consecration was not perfect – that is, that your will revolts at His will – do not become discouraged, but fly to your Savior and stay in His presence till you obtain the spirit in which He cried at His hour of anguish, "Father if Thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will but Thine be done."
Every time you do this it will be easier to do it; every such consent to suffer will bring you nearer and nearer to Him; and in this nearness to Him you will find such peace such blessed, sweet peace as will make your life infinitely happy., no matter what may be its mere outside conditions. Just think, my dear Katy, of the honor and the joy of having your will one with the Divine Will and so becoming changed into Christ's image from glory to glory!"
