My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.

Through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God ... It is folly to think to steal to heaven with a whole skin.

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

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

Many are friends to the success of reformation, not to reformation.

Praise God for the hammer, the file, and the furnace. The hammer molds us, the file sharpens us, and the fire tempers us.

I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
