Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
Richard SibbesWhatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.
Richard SibbesTherefore, when we find our heart inflamed with love to God, we may know that God hath shined upon our souls in the pardon of sin; and proportionally to our measure of love is our assurance of pardon. Therefore we should labour for a greater measure thereof, that our hearts may be the more inflamed in the love of God.
Richard SibbesIn trouble we are prone to forget all that we have heard and read that makes for our comfort. Now what is the reason that a man comes to think of that which otherwise he should never have called to mind? The Holy Spirit brings it to his remembrance; He is a Comforter, bringing to mind useful things at such times when we have most need of them.
