Don’t get upset with imperfections…

Acceptance, Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Quote Topic

Don’t get upset with your imperfections. It’s a great mistake because it leads nowhere – to get angry because you are angry, upset at being upset, depressed at being depressed, disappointed because you are disappointed. So don’t fool yourself. Simply surrender to the Power of God’s Love, which is always greater than our weakness.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)

Be aware of God…

Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Quote Topic, Spiritual (life)

A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or he may be in Church and be aware of God; but if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him… He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)

If you have failings…

Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Quote Topic, Spiritual (life)

If you have failings, ask God often whether it be His honor and pleasure to take them away from you; for without Him you can do nothing. If he takes them away, thank Him; but if He does not do that, you will bear it no more, however, as the defect of a sin, but as a great trial with which you are to gain merit and practice patience. You should be content, whether or not He accords you His gift.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
