“Perfection does not consist in the knowledge of God’s order, but in submission to it. The order of God, the good pleasure of God, the will of God, the action of God, grace—all these are one and the same thing in this life… Perfection is nothing else than the faithful cooperation of the soul with the work of God. This ultimate purpose of our life grows and increases in our souls secretly and without our knowledge.”
… Jean-Pierre de Caussade

These words come a great time for me, in particular the knowledge versus submission part of Caussade’s words. It obviously is one thing to think I know of God’s plan for my life or at least have a good idea of what I SHOULD be doing, but it is quite another to actually submit to that.

May God bless you with submission today.
