Be daring, be courageous, but never over-particular, for the courage you need means that you must always declare resolutely: “Rejoice in the Lord!” without reserve, and never worry whether the times are sweet or bitter, or you are passing through light or darkness. So let us go forward fearlessly, rejoicing in the truly profound, firm and unyielding love of our God.
