The opening of your hearts to receive the Lord Jesus Christ is not a work done by any power of your own, but the arm of the Lord is revealed therein.

It would much conduce to the settlement of your hearts, to consider, That by fretting and discontent, you do yourselves more injury thart till the afsltilions you lie under could do; your own discontent is that which arms your troubles with a sting; it is you that make your burden heavy, by struggling under it. Could you but lie quiet under the hand of God, your condition would be much easier and sweeter than it is.

Did Christ finish His work for us? Then there can be no doubt but He will also finish His work in us.

As God did not at first choose you because you were high, He will not now forsake you because you are low.

If time be a ring of gold, opportunity is the rich diamond that gives it both its value and glory.

Christ bounds and terminates the vast desires of the soul; He is the very Sabbath of the soul.

All the tears of a penitent sinner, should he shed as many as there have fallen drops of rain, since the creation, to this day, cannot wash away one sin. The everLasting burnings in hell, cannot purify the flaming conscience, from the least sin.
