Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow!

It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness.

The very discovery of these hidden things is in itself a purifying experience! The soul needs to discover what is inside. The self nature needs to see what it really is, and what it is like-right to the very bottom.

Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow!

Let no one ask a stronger mark of an excellent love to God, than that we are insensible to our own reputation.

God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.

He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.
