What position is good for us in this world?

Necessity of submitting our own wills to the will of Christ!

The Place that we wish to fill is not always the place that is best for us.

The line of life that we want to take up, is not always that which Christ sees to be most for the benefit of our souls.

The place that we are obliged to fill is sometimes very distasteful, and yet it may be needful to our sanctification.

The position we are compelled to occupy may be very disagreeable to flesh and blood, and yet it may be the very one that is necessary to keep us in our right mind.

It is better to be sent away from Christ's bodily presence, by Christ Himself, than to remain in Christ's bodily presence without His consent.
