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

You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.

The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.

Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.

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

The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.
