No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.

It was nothing less than a stretch of divine love for Jesus to give himself for our sins. It was gracious for the Infinite to conceive of such a thing; but for him to carry it out was glorious beyond all.

I am afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours, might almost lie on a penny. But the good that I have received from my sorrows, and pains, and griefs, is altogether incalculable … Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a minister’s library.

Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble; they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.

The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.

If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.

We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
