When God will have any great matters done, he sets his people's hearts to work at prayer by a kind of gracious instinct. He stirs them up and moves their hearts by the influence of his Holy Spirit.

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and won with thanks.

In Christ are treasures that will require digging to the end of the world.

Value God and his love more than all the world, though there were millions of them. He valued you before the world, and therefore is beforehand with you in his love. He not only loved you from everlasting, (whereas your love is but of yesterday,) but in the valuation of it, he loved you before all worlds, and preferred you to all worlds: though you loved the world first, before you loved him.

Oh despise not election! therein lies all your hope, that there is a remnant who shall infallibly be saved.

What is the cause of all God's purposes towards us? Himself. There is no other cause.

Glory in nothing, but only in this, that you are in Christ. For God chose you in him; the being you had was in him before the world was.
