Let me say that for comfort, there is no thought more full of sweetness than that of an eternal God engaged in Christ Jesus to His people; to love, and bless, and save them all. One Who has made them the distinguished objects of His discriminating regard from all eternity, it is the eternal God.

The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.

As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.

Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.

Our joy ends where love of the world begins.

Inconsistent professors are the greatest stumbling blocks to the spread of the cause of Christ!

He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
