SPIRITUAL REFLECTION 


The traveler who has lost his way walks on in doubt. As he goes, he keeps looking now to the right and now to the left, and frequently stops to examine where he is. The man who is sure he is on the right path goes along cheerfully, confidently and quickly. It is the same with love. A person who looks for God's will amid consolations is always in doubt and afraid of taking a wrong turn. Instead of loving God's will, he loves only his own pleasure. But if we lovingly walk according to God's will, even in the midst of afflictions, it is with a confident feeling. Since affliction can in no way be lovable in itself, our love is directed only to the hand which sends it! (T.L.G. Book 9, Ch. 2; O. V, pp. 115-116)
