        WILL OF GOD
        SACRIFICE
        DETERMINATION




        01
                    Let  us  perform  our  service  patiently  as  we  look
                    forward to that heavenly discharge paper that will give us
                    the  right  to  return  to  our  native  town,  to  our  Family’s
        embrace, to the house of the Father who is in Heaven. (Letters 36)

        02
                    Be satisfied with the task the Lord assigns you here below,
                    and trust that with Gods help you will be able to discharge


        (Letters 248)  it in such a way as to merit a great reward in Heaven.

        03
                    Complete conformity with Gods will is the great means to
                    advance  on  the  way  to  perfection.  But  this  means
                    becomes in turn the goal with respect to the means we
        must employ to obtain it. (Letters 52)

        04
                    Let  us  always  give  in  to  the  Lord,  even  when  it  goes
                    against our self-love. And if we cannot always find in this
                    the  sweetness  and  the  peace  that  come  with  sacrifice
        accomplished,  let  faith  suffice  and  let  us  look  up  to  Heaven  and

        exclaim: “Paradise, paradise.” (Writings 234)

        05
                    Above every other consideration keep in mind that you
                    are doing Gods will,  and steer your ship wherever the

                    captain directs you. (Letters 83)
