Learn thou first to be the instrument of God and to accept thy Master. The instrument is this outward thing thou callest thyself [...] Accept thyself humbly, yet proudly, devotedly, submissively and joyfully as a divine instrument. There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
