When the heart is once won to rest in God, to repose himself on him, he will assuredly satisfy it. He will never be as water that fails; nor hath he said at any time to the seed of Jacob, "Seek ye my face in vain." If Christ be chosen for the foundation of our supply, he will not fail us.

A river continually fed by a living fountain may as soon end its streams before it come to the ocean, as a stop be put to the course and progress of grace before it issue in glory.

All other ways of mortification are vain, all helps leave us helpless; it must be done by the Spirit.

There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.

If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation.

Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.

Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
