“The more I understand of the character of God, as revealed in Scripture, the more shall I see that he must be sovereign, and the more shall I rejoice from my inmost heart that He is so.   It was God’s sovereign will that fixed the time of my birth.  It is the same will that has fixed the day of my death.  And was not the day of my conversion fixed as certainly by that same will?”  (Horatius Bonar 1808-1889)

“The believer has all God’s unfailing promises to depend upon, and as he depends he gains strength by his own happy experiences of the faithfulness of the word.”  (John Stephen)

“Faith reposes on Jesus when the light of his countenance is withheld; and as we follow him though amid gloom and trial, makes us still feel and say, in the absence of all spiritual comforts—even in the deadly gloom of the greatest spiritual darkness—’I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.’”  (George Burrowes  1853)

“The moral heart of the sinner is so fat with pride, selfishness, carnality, and worldliness that it is almost ‘past feeling.’”  (David Thomas  1813-1894)
