Build your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.

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.

Millions of hells of sinners cannot come near to exhaust infinite grace.

My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.

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.

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.

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.
