Well's them who are under crosses, and Christ says to them, "Half Mine."

No created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord

I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.

You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.

To believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith

When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.

I see Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not abide a marrow it must have a throne all alone in the soul.
