God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.

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

He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.

Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

The bow of God's wrath is bent, and His arrows made ready upon the string. Justice points the arrow at your heart and strings the bow. It is nothing but the mere pleasure of God (and that of an angry God without any promise or obligation at all) that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.

The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.

Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
