The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus. When the Spirit is poured down, his people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus. They eat his flesh and drink his blood. They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full and free to their soul. They sit under his shadow with great delight. . . . They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in him for the use of their soul — grace for grace — all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.

The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.

It is not so much great talents that God blesses, as great likeness to Christ.

O believing brethren! What an instrument is this which God hath put into your hands! Prayer moves Him that moves the universe.

The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.
