“As every good thing really comes from God, so every good thing must be received and recognized as coming from God, in the exercise of faith. And the soul must be detached from everything on which it rests out of God.”

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier De La Motte-Guyon, a.k.a. Madame Guyon (1648-1717) in The Christian’s Hope and Consolations contrasted with the World’s Unbelief and Ruin, 152.
