In spiritual things, this world is all wintertime so long as the Saviour is away.

Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again, you will never come to the bottom of these depths. How many millions of dazzling pearls and gems are at this moment hid in the deep recesses of the ocean caves.

A believer longs after God, to come into his presence, to feel his love, to feel near to him in secret, to feel in the crowd that he is nearer than all the creatures. Ah! dear brethren, have you ever tasted this blessedness? There is greater rest and solace to be found in the presence of God for one hour than in an eternity of the presence of man.

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

For every look at self, take 10 looks at Christ.

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.
