“I make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.”

True boldness for Christ transcends all, it is indifference to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.

They who truly come to God for mercy, come as beggars, and not as creditors: they come for mere mercy, for sovereign grace, and not for anything that is due

The material universe exists only in the mind.

The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness.

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and glow.

Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.

Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.

There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God.

Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.

Assurance is not to be obtained so much by self-examination as by action.

Men will trust in God no further than they know Him; and they cannot be in the exercise of faith in Him one ace further than they have a sight of His fulness and faithfulness in exercise.

I believe passion is the sword of love that pierces through the wall of fears that hold us back.

I am so in favor of the actual infinite that instead of admitting that Nature abhors it, as is commonly said, I hold that Nature makes frequent use of it everywhere, in order to show more effectively the perfections of its Author.

Indeed in general I hold that there is nothing truer than happiness, and nothing happier and sweeter than truth.

I have tried this letting go part and ended up holding you closer then before. – everyday.

In a basic way, acceptance is seeing clearly what’s happening and holding it with kindness. This is a radical antidote to the suffering of judging mind.

You don’t hold place for everyone’s shit.
