“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.”

Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.

You will never know God’s strength until He has supported you in deep waters.

The best way to live above all fear of death is to die every morning before you leave your bedroom.

Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.

Death is no punishment to the believer: it is the gate of endless joy.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

My entire theology can be condensed into four words, ‘JESUS DIED FOR ME’.

The world’s one and only remedy is the cross.

No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.

When your will is God’s will, you will have your will.

His eyes never slumber, and His hands never rest; His heart never ceases to beat with love, and His shoulders are never weary of carrying His people’s burdens.

Obedience to the will of God is the pathway to perpetual honor and everlasting joy.

Look at our story: It is enduring.

If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.

You can’t even hurt me, I am done, took so much pain, now I just endure it.

After the currents have calmed and rocks you have endured I promise to be the river guiding you home.

You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.

We accept love only to the extent we are willing to endure heartbreak.

I survived the darkness. Crawled. Clawed. Endured. Untangled lies from truth. This wisdom is my sword.

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.
