Toward night, I felt my soul rejoice, that God is unchangeable happy and glorious and that He will be glorified, whatever becomes of His creatures.

O my Blessed God! let me climb up near to Him, and love, and long, and plead, and wrestle, and strech after Him, and for deliverence from the body of sin and death. Alas! my soul mourned to think i should ever lose sight of its Beloved again. O come, Lord Jesus, amen.

Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none

As long as I see anything to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!

I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now.

Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.

I love to live on the brink of eternity.
