When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own

There is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing.

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were of no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer...

Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward.

The greater the trial, the sweeter the victory.

The word of God is our only standard, and the Holy Spirit our only teacher.

I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
