Say, "Yes, Lord, YES!" to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will.

It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one.
