For those put off by the God language, as I somewhat am (and I'm initially even more violently put off by the Jesus Christ language that permeates much of de Sales' writing) try thinking of what in your lived experience might correspond to what de Sales calls God, or God's will. I think this passage is equally relevant to all human beings, once we translate it into terms that speak to us. I'd be happy to share the way I like to word it in my mind, but I felt it wouldn't be right to misquote de Sales initially- wanted to give it in his original words first.
