Choosing to Be Where You Are

One  of those things which particularly characterizes the holy mind, in distinction from the unholy or natural mind, and also in distinction from the partially sanctified mind, is, that in the allotment which falls to it in life,  it chooses to be, and loves to be, where it is;  and has no disposition and no desire to be any where else, till the providence of God clearly indicates that the time has come for a removal.
