Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.
We spend our years with sighing; it is a valleyof tears; but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.
God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.
Let us then ascribe the whole work of grace to the pleasure of God's Will. God did not choose us because we were worthy, but by choosing us He makes us worthy.
First we practice sin, then defend it, then boast of it.
Are there not millions of us who would rather go sleeping to hell; than sweating to heaven?
