There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.
Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof.
Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.
The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.
Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.
The winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.
