perfect silence, self-control

I realized this morning that I read this two days ago.


"What joy follows self-conquest!  You cannot conquer and control others, either of you, until you have completely conquered yourself.  Can you see yourselves absolutely unmoved?  Think of Me before the mocking soldiers, being struck, spat upon, and answered never a word--never a word.  Try to see that as Divine Power.  Remember by that Power of perfect silence, perfect self-control, you can alone prove your right to govern.  Never judge.  The heart of man is so delicate, so complex, only its Maker can know it.  Each heart is so different, actuated by different motives, controlled by different circumstances, influenced by different sufferings.  How can one judge another?  Leave to Me the unraveling of the puzzles of life.  Leave to Me the teaching of understanding.  Bring each heart to Me, its Maker, and leave it with Me.  Secure in the certainty that all that is wrong I can set right."    -God Calling, May 13
