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.

Your mercies are more than your afflictions.

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.

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

When you sailors see the haven before you, though you were mightily troubled before you could see any land, yet when you come near the shore and can see a certain land-mark, that contents you greatly. A godly man, in the midst of the waves and storms that he meets with, can see the glory of heaven before him and so contents himself. One drop of the sweetness of heaven is enough to take away all the sourness and bitterness of all the afflictions in the world.

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