No sin is so great but the satisfaction of Christ and His mercies are greater; it is beyond comparison. Fathers and mothers in tenderest affections are but beams and trains to lead us upwards to the infinite mercy of God in Christ.

The soul is never quiet till it comes to God . . . and that is the one thing the soul desireth.

See a flame in a spark, a tree in a seed. See great things in little beginnings.

God can pick sense out of a confused prayer.

If believers decay in their first love, or in some other grace, yet another grace may grow and increase, such as humility, their brokenheartedness; they sometimes seem not to grow in the branches when they may grow at the root; upon a check grace breaks out more; as we say, after a hard winter there usually follows a glorious spring.

Times are bad, God is good.

What the heart liketh best, the mind studieth most.
