Devotion

“It is the Lord; let Him do whatsoever seemeth good in His eyes.”

“Yet for all my complaints, He was never sweeter and kinder than He is now.”

“I would rather a cloud went over my comforts than that my faith should be hurt.”

“His being is such a being, that he alone is, and all besides are nonentities, and no beings in comparison of him.”

“Those stars vanish and disappear, when once the Sun of righteousness arises.”

“The compass-needle may be shaken and agitated, but it never rests until it turns toward the pole.”

“Be watchful; the world is the devil's chessboard. You can hardly move backward or forward, but he is ready to attack you with some temptation.”

“Of all devils, it is the idle devil which keeps men most out of their closets.”

“One hour's communion with God in one's closet is to be preferred before the greatest and best company in the world.”

“Time spent in heavenly employments is no time lost from worldly business.”

“Communion consists in giving and receiving. Until the love of the Father be received, we have no communion with him therein.”

“Few can carry up their hearts and minds to this height by faith, as to rest their souls in the love of the Father; they live below it, in the troublesome region of hopes and fears, storms and clouds. All here is serene and quiet.”
