Trials make more room for consolation. There is nothing that makes a man have a big heart like a great trial. I always find that little, miserable people, whose hearts are about the size of a grain of mustard seed, never have had much to try them. I have found that those people who have no sympathy for their fellows — who never weep for the sorrows of others — very seldom have had any woes of their own. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles.

When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.

God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.

The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

Beloved, there are heights in experimental knowledge of the things of God that the eagles discerning eye and philosophical thought have never seen...God alone can take us there, but the chariot in which He takes us up and the fiery steeds that pull the chariot, are prevailing prayers.

If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
