St.Therese gives me hope

"...I know that Jesus cannot desire useless sufferings for us, and that he would not inspire the longings I feel unless he wanted to grant them. Oh! How sweet is the way of Love! How I want to apply myself to doing the will of God always with the greatest self-surrender! God cannot inspire unrealizable desires. I can, then in spite of my littleness, aspire to holiness. It is impossible for me to grow up, and so I must bear with myself such as I am with all my imperfections...The Lord has always given me what I desire or rather He has made me desire what He wants to give me..."

St. Therese of Lisieux
