Believe God's love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea.

I have been benefited by praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself.
flower humility winter
Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather, and under storms of affliction.
jesus heaven would-be
O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven without Thee, it would be hell; and if I could be in hell, and have Thee still, it would be heaven to me, for Thou are all the heaven I want.
feet may praying
I pray God that I may never find my will again. Oh, that Christ would subject my will to His, and trample it under His feet.
adversity winter water
I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.
murmuring gains christ
They lose nothing who gain Christ.
heart world made
Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
