God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.

Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.

Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.

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.

Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
