There is no sweeter fellowship with Christ than to bring our wounds and our sores to him.

Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together; and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.

He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.

Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.

Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.

Your heart is not the compass that God steers by.

I exhort you and beseech you in the bowels of Christ, faint not, weary not. There is a great necessity of heaven; ye must needs have it: all other things, as houses, lands, children, husband, friends, country, credit, health, wealth, honour, may be wanted ; but heaven is your one thing necessary, the good part that shall not be taken from you. 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, that were slain with security.
