No created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord
christian patience soul
Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
christian blessing race
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
christian dream flower
I perceive we postpone all our joys of Christ, till He and we be in our own house above, thinking that there is nothing of it here to be sought or found, but only hope and fair promises; and that Christ will give us nothing here but tears, sadness, crosses; and that we shall never feel the smell of the flowers of that high garden of paradise above, till we come there. Nay, but I find it possible to find young glory, and a young green paradise of joy even here. We dream of hunger in Christ's house, while we are here, although He alloweth feasts to all the bairns within God's household.
christian taste christ
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.

Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.

Come all crosses, welcome, welcome! so I may get my heart full of my Lord Jesus.
kings men judging
Every man by nature is a freeman born; by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.
wind roots zion
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion; howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
jesus portraiture essentials
It is in some respect greater love in Jesus to sanctify than to justify, for He maketh us most like Himself, in His own essential portraiture and image in sanctifying us.
