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

JOHN BUNYAN -
He that forgets his friend is ungrateful to him; but he that forgets his Saviour is unmerciful to himself.
JOHN BUNYAN -
Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his; so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.
