Francois de Fenelon was a godly man who left a treasure house of spiritual riches. He lived at the same time as Jeanne Guyon.
Here is an excerpt from one of his many spiritual letters.
Simply trust God. If you come to Him, He will give you all that you need to serve Him. You need to believe that God keeps His word. The more you are able to trust Him, The more He will be able to give you. Know that if you were lost in a desert, bread would fall from heaven for you alone.
Fear nothing except to fail God. And do not fear that so much as to let it upset you. Learn to live with your failures and forgive the failures of your neighbours.
Do you know what would be best for you? Stop trying to appear so mentally and spiritually perfect to God and to man.
There is a lot of sefishness and complacency in not allowing people to see your faults.
Be simple with God. He loves to communicate Himself to simple people. Live day by day, not in your own stength, but by completely surrendering to God.
Take time to get to know God more. Spend time with God every day. Your life will be richer if you do.
