As for His failing you, never dream of it -- hate the thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.

An unkind heart is the worst. It is a plague to its possessor, and a torment to those around him.

Those who do not hope cannot wait; but if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

God alone can do what seems impossible. This is the promise of his grace: 'I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten' (Joel 2:25). God can give back all those years of sorrow, and you will be the better for them. God will grind sunlight out of your black nights. In the oven of affliction, grace will prepare the bread of delight. Someday you will thank God for all your sadness.

The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.

Every time you prefer the pleasures of this world to the joys of heaven, you spit in the face of Christ; every time when to gain in your business, you do an unrighteous thing, you are like Judas selling Him for thirty pieces of silver; every time you make a false profession of religion, you give Him a traitor's kiss; every word you have spoken against Him, every hard thought you have had of Him, has helped to complete your complicity with the great crowd which gathered around the Cross of Calvary, to mock and jeer the Lord of life and glory.

Mighty prayer has often been produced by mighty trial.
