Rose early to seek God and found Him whom my soul loveth. Who would not rise early to meet such company?

When the voice of Christ speaks through the Word, then you will arise, and leave all, and follow Him.

God will either give you what you ask, or something far better.

When God gives a promise, He always tries our faith. Just as the roots of trees take firmer hold when they are contending with the wind, so faith takes a firmer hold when it struggles with adverse appearances.

The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness.

If Christ justifies you, He will sanctify you! He will not save you and leave you in your sins.

Seek to be made holier every day; pray, strive, wrestle for the spirit, to make you like God. Be as much you can with God. I declare to you that I had rather be one hour with God than a thousand with the sweetest society on earth or in Heaven. All other joys are but streams; God is the fountain.
