Obey the Spirit.

You little think how much the life
of all your graces depends upon your
ready and cordial obedience to the
Spirit. When the Spirit urgeth thee
to secret prayer, and thou refusest
obedience; when He forbids thee a
known transgression, and thou wilt
go on; when He telleth thee which is
the way and which not, and thou wilt
not regard, no wonder if Heaven and
thy Soul be strange.-Richard Bax-
