Fiery trials make golden Christians.

The furnace of affliction is a good place for you, Christian; it benefits you; it helps you to become more like Christ, and it is fitting you for heaven.

If the Savior has not sanctified you, renewed you, given you a hatred of sin and a love of holiness, He has nothing in you of a saving character.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.

God has a way of giving by the cartloads to those who give away by shovelfuls.
