Earth is embittered to us, that heaven may be endeared.
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Days of trouble must be days of prayer.
Those that are above business.
We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
For love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love; it is the sum of his law and gospel.
