When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.

We are dependent on the power of God to convert us and give faith in Jesus Christ and the new nature.

I assert that nothing ever comes to pass without a cause.

Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.

Resolved, to confess frankly to myself all that which I find in myself, either infirmity or sin; and, if it be what concerns religion, also to confess the whole case to God, and implore needed help.

If you long to be more like Christ, then act like Him, and walk as He walked.

Almost all men, and those that seem to be very miserable, love life, because they cannot bear to lose sight of such a beautiful and lovely world. The ideas, that every moment whilst we live have a beauty that we take not distinct notice of, brings a pleasure that, when we come to the trial, we had rather live in much pain and misery than lose.
