Verily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will.

See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security.

Live on Christ's love while ye are here, and all the way.

Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.

I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.

No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.

I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before... Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.
