The will of God is like a rope thrown to us as we struggle
among the untamed waves. To remain “independent” is to repulse
all succor, all salvation; it is to wander without a compass
and without a chart through the fury of the storm. To obey
is to seize the rope, to face the blast, to brave the storm,
to advance against the confederate waves, to let oneself be
irresistibly drawn toward the invisible harbor where our
heavenly Father awaits us.--MONROE.
