more gems from the book "He and I"

I read from the journals of the French writer & mystic Gabrielle Bossis every day. These writings were compiled into a single book called "He and I". They inspire, motivate, challenge, and ground me. Here are some brief words from God to Gabrielle.

"By ... carrying your cross you will find that your cross is carrying you." - Nov 6, 1944

"It is with thoughts of our oneness that you will discover your duty to give happiness to those I have placed around you." - Mar 30, 1949

"Keep going blindly. Take delight in knowing nothing of the future . . .". - Feb 3, 1949

"Pray for sinners and know that you save them because My merits are infinite." - Dec 3, 1942

"Find a sweeter name for death. Call it 'the Meeting' ." - Oct 8, 1942

"Make use of your sensitivity. It was given to you so that you might merit from it." - Apr 22, 1939

"Be in me. Don't be in yourself." - Apr 4, 1938

"Don't believe in chance, but learn to see the hand of your Father, your Friend - the One who never leaves you - in everything that happens." - Mar 30, 1949

"Don't be afraid of Me. Be afraid to be afraid." - Nov 23, 1944

"What do you need more than God?" - Feb 26, 1947

"Remember that nothing happens without My permission, and be very serene. There is nothing like serenity for convincing people of the Good." - Mar 6, 1947
