“Never doubt, though thy iniquities be ever so great, there is a sea of mercy in God.”  (Richard Stock)

“And it is no exaggeration, for He gives like Himself, not grudgingly or in tiny portions, as if He were afraid to exhaust His riches, or even suspected them to be limited in their contents.”  (John Eadie; 1810-1876)

“The way of any sinner’s deliverance from such wrath shows sin to be exceeding great in the price and ransom that is paid for the salvation of him from his sins—the price of the blood of the eternal Son of God.”  (Anthony Palmer; 1678)

“As election is the effect of God’s sovereignty, our pardon is the fruit of his mercy, our knowledge a stream from his wisdom, our strength an impression of his power; and so our purity is a beam from his holiness.”  (Stephen Charnock; 1628-1680)

“True piety is sincere, consistent, practical, hearty, intelligent, earnest, active, stirring, diligent, humble, distrustful of itself, systematical, guileless, unspotted from the world, self-renouncing, confident in God, delighting in thankfulness, fully purposed to keep the law, and as ready to confess that without divine grace it can do nothing.”  (William S. Plumer;  1880)

“Devout, and simple tears, which cannot speak, speak aloud in the ears of God.”  (John Donne; 1572-1631)

“God knows everything perfectly, and he knows everything perfectly at once.  This to a human understanding would breed confusion but there can be no confusion in the Divine understanding, because confusion arises from imperfection.”  (Henry Kirke White; 1785-1806)

“The believer is continually to look forward, and solace himself with beholding that day when his warfare shall be accomplished; when sin and sorrow shall be no more; when sudden and everlasting confusion shall cover the enemies of righteousness; when the sackcloth of the penitent shall be exchanged for a robe of glory and every tear become a sparkling gem in his crown; when to sighs and groans shall succeed the songs of heaven, set to angelic harps, and faith shall be resolved into the vision of the Almighty.” (George Horne; 1730-1792)

“The attributes of God’s grace, mercy, goodness and clemency shine forth in nothing so much as in pardoning sins.”  (Nathanael Hardy; 1618-1670)

“It is not so much the weeping eye God respects as the broken heart; yet I would be loath to stop their tears who can weep.  God stood looking on Hezekiah’s tears (Isaiah 38:5).”  (Thomas Watson; 1620-1686)
