The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.

When I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.
christian home night
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
idols heaven together
Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together; and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.
thinking delight this-life
Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.

Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop.

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.
jesus heart feelings
In our fluctuations of feelings, it is well to remember that Jesus admits no change in His affections; your heart is not the compass Jesus saileth by.

But the way to overcome is by patience, forgiving and praying for your enemies, in doing whereof you heap coals upon their heads, and your Lord shall open a door to you in your trouble: wait upon Him, as the night watch waiteth for the morning. He will not tarry. Go up to your watch-tower, and come not down, but by prayer, and faith, and hope, wait on.

Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
father cutting perfect
You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.
jesus lord pens
No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.
