In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

Think not of the sinner or the greatness of his sin, but think of the greatness of the Savior!

If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.

I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.

Say much of what the Lord has done for you, but say little of what you have done for the Lord.
