Additional quotes by John Newton
God could have over-ruled every difficulty in your way, had he seen it expedient. But he is pleased to show you, that you depend not upon men — but upon himself; and that, notwithstanding your situation, may exclude you from some advantages in point of outward means. He who has begun a good work in you, is able to carry it on, in defiance of all seeming hindrances, and make all things (even those which have the most unfavorable appearances) work together for your good.
