“Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God’s saving grace in Christ Jesus.”

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.

There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.

You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others.

Natural religion itself, seems to decay very much. Many will have human souls to be material: others make God himself a corporeal being.

You know well that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.

There is nothing we can desire or want that we do not find in God.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.

A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness; on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases.

The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything. God is the ground, the substance, the teaching, the teacher, the purpose, and the reward for which every soul labors.

Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude.
