This is the secret of peace – this losing of our will in Christ’s. So long as we struggle, and fail in even the smallest degree to acquiesce in the divine will and way, our peace is disturbed and broken; but if we cease all resistance and just lie quiet in God’s hands, and let him have his way with us, the peace is full and complete.
“The fever went at the turn of the night,
She lies like a lily white and still,
But her eyes are full of the old love light;
She’ll live, if it be God’s will.
“God’s will, had it been to snatch her away,
We had bowed, we had knelt, we had kissed the rod;
But his own dear will bids our darling stay,
And we–we just thank God.”
