If Christ has once possessed the affections, there is no dispossessing of him again. A fire in the heart overcomes all fires without.
Death is only a grim porter to let us into a stately palace.
The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.
Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.
Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness.
God's truth always agrees with itself.
