We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.

There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.

Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you cannot see it now; you must believe it. Honor God by trusting Him.
