Poems for Lent - Day 8



"Only one author, from the century in which she (Jeanne Guyon) lived, outsells her. His name is William Shakespeare. In fact they are the only two writers of the 1600s whose books are still very popular." Gene Edwards, 100 Days in the Secret Place


Jeanne spoke mostly about suffering and living abandoned to Christ. And she was speaking from experience. She was imprisoned numerous times and finally ended up in the Bastille because of Louis XIV's jealousy and hatred.


A quote from the reading today's poem was inspired by:


"If you gave yourself to Him to be blessed and to be loved, you cannot suddenly turn around and take back your life at another season...when you are being crucified!" Jeanne Guyon
