Until I am essentially united with God, I can never have full rest or real happiness.

God loved us before he made us; and his love has never diminished and never shall.

It is easy to understand that the best deed is well done: and so well as the best deed is done - the highest - so well is the least deed done; and all thing in its property and in the order that our Lord hath ordained it to from without beginning. For there is no doer but He.

Every act of kindness and compassion done by any man for his fellow Christian is done by Christ working within him.

Everything has being through the love of God.

For in every soul that shall be saved is a Godly Will that never assented to sin, nor ever shall.

This is our Lord’s will, that our prayer and our trust be both alike large. For if we trust not as much as we pray, we do not full worship to our Lord in our prayer, and also we tarry and pain our self. The cause is, as I believe, that we know not truly that our Lord is Ground on whom our prayer springeth; and also that we know not that it is given us by the grace of His love. For if we knew this, it would make us to trust to have, of our Lord’s gift, all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with true meaning, but if mercy and grace be first given to him.
