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

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.

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

There is as much in our Lord's pantry as will satisfy all his children and as much wine in his cellar as will quench all their thirst. Hunger on, for there is meat in hungering for Christ; go never from him, but seek him who is yet pleased with the importunity of hungry souls until he fills you; if he delays, yet do not go away, even if you faint at his feet.

We are as near to heaven as we are far from self, and far from the love of a sinful world.

Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.

I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.
