Earth is embittered to us, that heaven may be endeared.

Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.

We cannot expect too little from man nor too much from God.

What peace can they have who are not at peace with God?

Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions.

Christ died. He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better-His PEACE!

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.
