Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.

Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.

When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.

It is good news, worthy of all acceptation; and yet not too good to be true.

None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ; for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.

None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God; and God will not do without us.

Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
