If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won't do whatever they want, they'll do whatever He wants.

Prayer is a shield to the soul

Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.

Sleep is sweet to the labouring man.

To go back is nothing but death; but to go forward is fear of death and life everlasting beyond.

Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach their course to steer, Yet run himself life's mad career Wild as the wave?

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
