All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.

Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
