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

We must forget ourselves and all self-interest, and listen, and be attentive to God.

I have never found any who prayed so well as those who had never been taught how. They who have no master in man, have one in the Holy Spirit.

To rob God of nothing; to refuse Him nothing; to require of Him nothing; this is great perfection.

Secrets of the incomprehensible wisdom of God, unknown to any besides Himself! Man, sprung up only of a few days, wants to penetrate, and to set bounds to it. Who is it that hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been His counselor?

How can they be delivered from the life of self, who are not willing to abandon all their possessions? How can they believe themselves despoiled of all, who possess the greatest treasure under heaven? Do not oblige me to name it, but judge, if you are enlightened; there is one of them which is less than the other, which is lost before it, but which those who must lose everything have the greatest trouble in parting with.

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