Have courage then: make a virtue of necessity: ask of God, not deliverance from your pains, but strength to bear resolutely, for the love of Him, all that He should please, and as long as He shall please.

That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.

You need not cry very loud; he is nearer to us than we think.

It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.

To worship God in truth is further to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself if we desire it. Who will be so imprudent as to turn himself away, even for a moment, from the reverence, love, service and continual adoration which we most justly owe Him?

Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.

Let us think often that our only business in this life is to please God. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.
