The best and sweetest flowers of paradise God gives to His people when they are upon their knees. Prayer is the gate of heaven.
Thomas BrooksSatan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

Thomas BrooksWe trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.
