Be assured that, if we are near enough to God, we shall not be at a loss to know His will. In a long and active life it may happen, that God, in His love, does not always at once reveal His will to us, in order to make us feel our dependence, when there. is perhaps in the individual a tendency to act according to his own will. Nevertheless, " If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light;" whence it is certain that, if the whole body is not full of light, the eye is not single. You will say, That is a poor consolation. I answer, It is rich consolation for those whose sole desire is to have the eye single, and to walk with God-not, so to speak, to avoid this trouble in learning His will objectively, but whose desire is to walk with God. 374
