The Source of All Good in Us
Your good will is no less a gift of God’s mercy, than the life and being which you receive direct from his hands. Live, as it were, on trust; all that is in you, and all that you are, is only loaned you; make use of it according to the will of Him who lends it, but never regard it for a moment as your own.

Francois de Fenelon - for whatever doctrinal mistakes he may be accused of, there is no doubting that this man knew God. Always giving glory to God, always urging self-denial and a fresh view of the cross. Always challenging us to pursue love and good deeds. These are the qualities that I look for in a friend. Great quote, my friend!
