March 16th. The stature of the Lord Jesus was not itself reached by work,
and he who thinks to approach its mystical height by anxious effort is
really receding from it. Natural Law, Growth, p. 127.

March 17th. For the Life must develop out according to its type; and
being a germ of the Christ-life, it must unfold into a Christ. Natural
Law, Growth, p. 129.

March 18th. The sneer at the godly man for his imperfections is
ill-judged. A blade is a small thing. At first it grows very near the
earth. It is often soiled and crushed and downtrodden. But it is a living
thing,. . . and "it doth not yet appear what it shall be." Natural Law,
Growth, p. 129.

March 19th. Christ's protest is not against work, but against anxious
thought. Natural Law, Growth, p. 136.

March 20th. If God is adding to our spiritual stature, unfolding the new
nature within us, it is a mistake to keep twitching at the petals with
our coarse fingers. We must seek to let the Creative Hand alone. "It is
God which giveth the increase." Natural Law, Growth, p. 137.

March 21st. Love is PATIENCE. This is the normal attitude of Love; Love
passive, Love waiting to begin; not in a hurry; calm; ready to do its
work when the summons comes, but meantime wearing the ornament of a meek
and quiet spirit. The Greatest Thing in the World.

March 22d. Have you ever noticed how much of Christ's life was spent in
doing kind things? The Greatest Thing in the World.
