Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
From Charles Spurgeon
We have lived long enough to experience the hollowness of earth and the rottenness of all carnal promises.
Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all disappear like yon cloud upon the mountain's summit; but, like the mountain itself, the things which are of God shall stand fast for ever and ever.
Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.
It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.
There is no injustice in the grace of God. God is as just when He forgives a believer as when He casts a sinner into hell.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that - it is spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend's griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother's happiness.
