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

Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.

If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.

Live on Christ's love while ye are here, and all the way.

I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.

Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.

Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy
