“Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.”

There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.

Man indeed is the most noble, by creation, of all the creatures in the visible World; but by sin he has made himself the most ignoble.

A tender heart is a wakeful, watchful heart. It watches against sin in the soul, sin in the family, sin in the calling, sin in spiritual duties and performances.

At the day of Doom men shall be judged according to their fruits. It will not be said then, did you believe? But, were you doers or talkers only?

Prayer is a shield to the soul.

We know not the matter of the things for which we should pray, neither the object to whom we pray, nor the medium by or through whom we pray; none of these things know we, but by the help and assistance of the Spirit.

A man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.

I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.

No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

There is no way to kill a man’s righteousness but by his own consent.

The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

The more he cast away, the more he had.

To run and work the law commands, but gives us neither feet nor hands. But better news the gospel brings, it bids us fly and gives us wings.

In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.

The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.

Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God’s will.

Seasons change and that’s okay, there will always be light, hope and grace.

We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.

It is grace that forms the void inside us and it is grace that can fill the void.

I hope you find grace in the spaces in between your racing thoughts and melancholy – be kind to your beautiful mind.

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

When to give grace? I’d rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.

Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.
