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.

It is comfort to the believer that all things are possible.

They lose nothing who gain Christ.

I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.

Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.

After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.

Grace will ever speak for itself and be fruitful in well-doing; the sanctified, cross is a fruitful tree.
