It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.
He is truly great in who hath power over himself.
It is all ablaze with grateful adoration.
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds; and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy; my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
