How are we going to get the life that has no lust, no self-interest, no sensitiveness to pokes, the love that is not provoked, that thinketh no evil, that is always kind? The only way is by allowing not a bit of the old life to be left, but only simple perfect trust in God, such trust that we no longer want God's blessings, but only want Himself.
Have we come to the place where God can withdraw His blessings and it does not affect our trust in Him?

"Such trust that we no longer want God's blessings...but only Himself".... These words are really beautiful and humbling.
