Submission to God.

PERFECT submission to God is best learned in the school of affliction. It is a light thing to obey when our own choice is consulted. But when it is ours to submit to sorrow, pain, and disappointment, we need great help from God to enable us to do it. Yet, even then, submission sweetens every bitter cup. With the surrender of the will, and of our own cherished purposes and desires, there come such tokens of God's love and favor as do a thousand-fold repay our anguish in dying to self. It is to our great relief when we yield wholly to God. If we do this, we shall find that it is sure to end the anguish of our distressed and agonizing hearts.
