It is the happiness of heaven to have God be all in all.

the Lord does not so much look at the work that is done, as at the faithfulness of our hearts in doing it.

You may think you find peace in Christ when you have no outward troubles, but is Christ your peace when the Assyrian comes into the land, when the enemy comes?...Jesus Christ would be peace to the soul when the enemy comes into the city, and into your houses.

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.

Contentment is not by addition but by subtraction: seeking to add a thing will not bring contentment. Instead, subtracting from your desires until you are satisfied only with Christ brings contentment.

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.

When God has given you your heart's desire, what have you done with your heart's desire?
