The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

... our natural Will is to have God, and the Good Will of God is to have us; and we may never cease from willing nor from longing till we have Him in fullness of joy: and then may we no more desire.

God is all that is good, as to my sight, and the goodness that each thing hath, it is He.

In God's sight we do not fall: in our own we do not stand.

If any such lover be in earth which is continually kept from falling, I know it not: for it was not shewed me. But this was shewed: that in falling and in rising we are ever preciously kept in one Love.

We need to fall, and we need to be aware of it; for if we did not fall, we should not know how weak and wretched we are of ourselves, nor should we know our Maker's marvellous love so fully.

The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.
