We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious. Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!

It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.

Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.

If I am not today all that I hope to be, yet I see Jesus, and that assures me that I shall one day be like Him.

Mind your till, and till your mind.

Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy. God not only takes away the bitterness and gives sweetness in its place, but turns the bitterness into sweetness itself.

I looked at God and He looked at me, and we were one forever.
