A noble heart is a thankful heart that loves to acknowledge whenever it has received any mercy.

the disorders of your hearts, and their sinful workings are as words before God.

To be well skilled in the mystery of Christian contentment is the duty, glory and excellence of a Christian.

I beseech you to consider that God does not deal by you as you deal with him.

Our names... are in the hands of God, Who will preserve them so far as He has use of them, and further we shall have no use of them ourselves.

If riches increase, set not your hearts upon them: so if friends increase, set not your hearts upon them, but trust in the living God, let it be the living God that you rest on even for all outward things in this world.

My brethren, the reason why you have not got contentment in the things of the world is not because you have not got enough of them-that is not the reason-but the reason is, because they are not things proportionable to that immortal soul of yours that is capable of God himself.
