The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.

Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it.

God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.

It is well said that neglected prayer is the birth-place of all evil.
