Words cannot describe the peace and joy possessed by him who takes God at His word. Trials do not disturb him, slights do not vex him. Self is crucified. Day by day his duties may become more taxing, his temptations stronger, his trials more severe; but he does not falter; for he receives strength equal to his need. {FLB 226.5}

Ord kan ikke beskrive den fred og glæde der kommer i ham, som tager Gud på Sit ord. Trængsler kan ikke forstyrre ham, ringeagt rør ham ikke. Selvet er korsfæstet. Dag for dag kan hans opgaver blive vanskeligere, hans fristelser stærkere, hans prøvelser hårdere; men han vakler ikke; for han får præcis den styrke han har brug for.
