Look, as a painted man is no man, and as painted fire is no fire, so a cold prayer is no prayer.

God sees us in secret, therefore, let, us seek his face in secret. Though heaven be God's palace, yet it is not his prison.

The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements.

True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.

Those years, months, weeks, days, and hours, that are not filled up with God, with Christ, with grace, and with duty, will certainly be filled up with vanity and folly. The neglect of one day, of one duty, of one hour, would undo us, if we had not an Advocate with the Father.

Hope can see heaven through the thickest clouds.

The best and sweetest flowers of paradise God gives to His people when they are upon their knees. Prayer is the gate of heaven.
