Being and Doing – 22 August – Leave Results to God

LEAVE results to God

E. B. BROWNING

LIKE many other reformers, she at first hoped for a more quick return for her labours;  but as the years went on, she learned as they have learned, that God had greater designs in view than any which came within their human calculations

From Life of Catherine of Sienna

QUIET patient work often brings startling results.   The heart is melted at last and the conscience touched.

Bishop WALSHAM HOW

oooOOOooo

These quotes are from ‘Being and Doing’ A selection of helpful thoughts from various authors arranged for daily reading.

Collected by Constance M Whishaw and first published in 1908 for members of the Being and Doing Guild whose object is to do all they can for the relief of suffering and misery.

Most of the writers are 19th Century Christians from Britain and Europe who were committed to living their faith through deeds as well as words – Being AND Doing.

For many years these words have kept me company and encouraged me on the journey of faith.  I hope they will encourage others also.
