But if I have once overcome my heart, and am contented through the grace of God in my heart, then this makes me content not only in one particular but in general, whatever befalls me.

It is a woman's reason to say I will do such a thing because I will.

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

Holiness is the very principle of eternal life, the very beginning of eternal life in the heart, and that which will certainly grow up to eternal life.

We should study Christ, and praise and bless God, and have our hearts enlarged for Jesus Christ. This is the duty of believers to whom God has revealed Christ as wonderful, that in their conversations they should hold out the wonderful glory of Jesus Christ. You should so walk before men as to manifest to all the world that your Savior is a wonderful Savior

Temptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall.

Thus, a godly man wonders at his cross that it is not more, a wicked man wonders his cross is so much.
