“You will soon know that your bitterest trials and your sorest pains are sure tokens of His love. The father corrects because he loves. In anxious care, the physician deeply probes the wounds. Thus, Jesus makes earth hard, that you may long for heaven’s holy rest. He shows you your self-vileness that you may prize His cleansing blood. He suffers you to stumble that you may cleave more closely to His side. He makes the world a blank that you may seek all comfort in Himself. If He seems to change, it is that you may change. He hides His face, that you may look towards Him. He is silent, that you may cry more loudly. His desertion prevents your desertion.” Henry Law (1797-1844)

“Men are merciless in their censures of Christians; they have no sympathy for their infirmity: while God weighs them in more equal scales, and says, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” While a saint is a dove in the eyes of God, he is only a raven in the estimation of sinners.” (William Secker; 1681)

“Christ’s peace is steady, the world’s wavering. The world itself is unstable, and so are all its gifts, especially that of peace. This is easily ruffled, easily broken, and ever-changing.” (Horatius Bonar 1808-1889)

“Redemption transcends the possibility of compensation. We cannot by drawing on the resources of the whole world amass money enough to pay God. His gifts are of inestimable worth.  And the gift cannot be separated from the Giver, who is infinite.” (Klass Schilder 1890-1952)

“As he never confers the favor on account of anything amiable in the object, so he never withholds it, on account of any peculiar aggravations in the sinner’s conduct or character. To dispute this, is to deny that salvation is by grace. (Abraham Booth 1734-1806)
