Purity of heart means the control of the imagination and the rigorous care of the affections.

Ah, afflicted one, your disabilities were meant to unite with God's enablings, your weakness to mate His power. God's grace is at hand -sufficent-- and at its best when human weakness is most profound. Appropriate it and learn that those who wait on God are stronger in their weakness than the sons of men in their stoutest health and vigor.

Though justification costs us nothing but the sacrifice of our pride, it has cost Christ His blood.

The flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.

God incarnate is the end of fear; and the heart that realizes that, realizes that he is in the midst, that takes heed to the assurance of his loving presence, will be quiet in the midst of alarm.

There is no burden of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it.
