Yielding Ourselves to God

By Tauler

MAY God grant us to be faithful and honest in doing the work he gives, and doing it as his Spirit teaches us. Set forth to work in good earnest at the task God gives you, and let not your heart wander off after something higher. Then it will no longer be your work, but God's work, whatever it may be. And to those who thus give themselves restfully to God, he shows himself at all moments, and draws their hearts very near to himself. . . . His blessing comes not from our work and labor, but from yielding ourselves to his will. Thus to suffer and be still is the noblest work, for then it is not we who work, but God; and his work is high above our work, as the heaven is high above the earth.—Tauler.
