He who knows what it is to enjoy God will dread His loss; he who has seen His face will fear to see His back. - Richard Alleine

The cross is not only imposed upon the saints as their burden, but bequeathed unto them as their legacy. It is given unto them as an honor and privilege.

The reason why we obtain no more in prayer, is because we expect no more. God usually answers us according to our own hearts.

There may be some tenderness in the conscience and yet the will be a very stone; and as long as the will stands out, there is no broken heart.
