Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape.

As we pour out our bitterness, God pours in his peace.

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

Prayer is an exchange. We leave our burdens, worries and sin in the hands of God. We come away with oil of joy and the garment of praise.

How often God takes away our consolations, that we may only love Him for Himself; and reveals our sinfulness, that we may better appreciate the completeness of his salvation!

The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, buy unoffered prayer.

The certainty of our salvation rests on the character of God.
