It’s Fénelon Friday!
LETTER 6: The True Source of Peace Is in the Surrender of the Will
Live in continued peace. But understand that peace does not depend upon the fervor of your devotion. The only thing you need to be concerned about is the direction of your will.
Give that up to God without reservation. The important question is not how religious you are, or how devoted, but rather is your will in harmony with God’s? Humbly confess your faults. Learn to be detached from the world and completely abandoned to God. Love Him more than yourself and His glory more than your life. The least you can do is to desire and ask for such a love. God will then pour out upon you that special love which only His children know, and He will give you His peace.
Francis Fénelon, Let Go (New Kensington: Whitaker House, 1973).
Learning To Be Full Of Grace And Truth. 
I have to many to confess. I’ll have to throw myself on the mercy of the court. Lucky for me the court is long on patience, mercy and grace and short on anger and pettiness.

I can’t confess all my faults either. I don’t even see them all! The question is am I honest about what I know and am I exalting God only. Fortunately, grace is never in short supply for those who are in Jesus.
