Lord Thee Resignation

More From Francois Fenelon

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.
Beautiful God Kings
Lord! thou art with thy people still; they see thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as thou talkest with them by the way. and thou art near to those that have not known thee; open their eyes that they may see thee--see thee weeping over them, and saying, "ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see thee hanging on the cross and saying, "father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see thee as thou wilt come again in thy glory to judge them at the last. amen.
Art Prayer Father
Gaze not on beauty too much, lest it blast thee; nor too long, lest it blind thee; nor too near, lest it burn thee. if thou like it, it deceives thee; if thou love it, it disturbs thee; if thou hunt after it, it destroys thee. if virtue accompany it, it is the heart's paradise; if vice associate it, it is the soul's purgatory. it is the wise man's bonfire, and the fool's furnace.
Beauty Wise Heart
Revelation need not all come at once. it may be incremental. 'saith the lord god: i will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth i will give more' (2 nephi 28:30). patience and perseverance are part of our eternal progression.
Perseverance Children Blessed
If thou art indeed my father, then hast thou stained thy sword in the life-blood of thy son. and thous didst it of thine obstinacy. for i sought to turn thee unto love, and i implored of thee thy name, for i thought to behold in thee the tokens recounted of my mother. but i appealed unto thy heart in vain, and now is the time gone for meeting.
Mother Art Father
I see thee better in the dark, i do not need a light. the love of thee a prism be excelling violet. i see thee better for the years that hunch themselves between, the miner’s lamp sufficient be to nullify the mine. and in the grave i see thee best— its little panels be a-glow, all ruddy with the light i held so high for thee! what need of day to those whose dark hath so surpassing sun, it seem it be continually at the meridian?

Similar Quotes
The earth is beautiful, and bright, and kindly, but that is not all. the earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. the rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. the mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. there are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in men's eyes.

Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the darkness.
Darkness Wit Straws
I was the owner of my own darkness.
Darkness Owners My Own
These are dark radiances. they have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. certainly they are so. he who does not weep does not see. they are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
