seeing beyond

“My son, say thou thus in everything:
'Lord, if this be pleasing unto Thee,
let it be so.
Lord, if it be to Thy honor,
in Thy name let this be done.
Lord, if Thou seest it good,
and allowest it to be profitable for me,
then grant unto me
that I may use this to Thine honor.
But if Thou knowest it will be harmful unto me,
and no profit to the health of my soul,
take away any such desire from me.'”
- Thomas a Kempis
