He may look on death with joy, who can look on forgiveness with faith.

Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.

There is more evil in a drop of sin than in a sea of affliction.

We spend our years with sighing; it is a valleyof tears; but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.

There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.

God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.

Better have men reproach you for being good, than have God damn you for being wicked. Be not laughed out of your religion. If a lame man laugh at you for walking upright, will you therefore limp?
