To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me; that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?

Six feet of dirt make all men equal.

Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.

Death is no punishment to the believer: it is the gate of endless joy.

The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.

You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings

Do not sit down and try to pump up repentance from the dry well of a corrupt nature. It is contrary to the laws of your mind to suppose that you can force your soul into that gracious state. Take your heart in prayer to Him who understands it and say, "Lord, cleanse it. Lord, renew it. Lord, work repentance in it." The more you try to produce penitent emotions in yourself, the more you will be disappointed. However, if you believingly think of Jesus dying for you, repentance will burst forth.
