Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.

You shall by faith sustain yourself and comfort yourself in your Lord, and be strong in His power; for you are in the beaten and common way to heaven, when you are under our Lord's crosses. You have reason to rejoice in it, more than in a crown of gold; and rejoice and be glad to bear the reproaches of Christ.

The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.

Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.

Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.

Make not Christ a liar in distrusting His promise.

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.
