"When you are forgotten or neglected, or purposely set at naught, and you smile inwardly, glorying in the insult or the oversight, because thereby counted worthy to suffer with Christ -- that is victory (Acts 5:40-41; 16:25).
When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your taste offended, your advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you take it all in patient, loving silence -- that is victory (Matthew 5:10-12; Hebrews 10:32-35).
When you are content with any food, any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude, any interruption by the will of God -- THAT IS VICTORY (Philippians 4:11-13; I Timothy 6:6-8; Hebrews 13:5).
"Lord Jesus, make Thyself to me A living, bright Reality: More present to Faith's vision keen Than any earthly object seen: More dear, more intimately nigh Than e'en the dearest earthly tie."

The above should ONLY be attempted by those who are able to find their TRUE SATISFACTION IN CHRIST
