DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about finding peace of heart through
perfect resignation to the will of God, emphasizing the importance of
simplicity, calmness of spirit, surrendering to God's will, patience,
tolerance for others' faults, and acknowledging our own faults with
candor and docility. She highlights that troubles arise from not
accepting everything with sufficient resignation to God, encouraging the
congregation to put all things in God's hands and offer them as a
sacrifice. True freedom from anxieties and retrospects comes when one
stops wanting things to align with personal judgment and accepts
whatever God sends.

Do Thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto Thee.

JUDGES 10:15

DEAR Lord, whose mercy veileth all

That may our coming days befall,

Still hide from us the things to be,

But rest our troubled hearts in Thee.

HARRIET MCEWEN KIMBALL

PEACE of heart lies in perfect resignation to the will of God. What you
need is true simplicity, a certain calmness of spirit which comes from
entire surrender to all that God wills, patience and tolera-tion for
your neighbor's faults, and a certain candor and childlike docility in
acknowledging your own faults. The trouble you feel about so many things
comes from your not accepting everything which may happen to you, with
sufficient resignation to God. Put all things, then, in His hands, and
offer them beforehand to Him in your heart, as a sacrifice. From the
moment when you cease to want things to be according to your own
judgment, and accept uncon-ditionally whatever He sends, you will be
free from all your uneasy retrospects and anxieties about your own
concerns.
