March 13th. A man will often have to wrestle with his God--but not for
growth. The Christian life is a composed life. The Gospel is Peace. Yet
the most anxious people in the world are Christians--Christians who
misunderstand the nature of growth. Life is a perpetual self-condemning
because they are not growing. Natural Law, Growth, p. 139.

energies already there. Natural Law, Growth, p. 140.
