We expect everything to happen fast and with little or no inconvenience, but God often works graciously slow in us.- Desiring God@desiringGod
Oh that I would have been spared my slavery to illicit sex, and would have known a truer happiness as I waited for the embrace of my God.- Augustine @AugustineQuots
A sanctified heart is better than a silver tongue. ~Thomas Watson
“He heals them… It is he, likewise, who heals their bodily sickness, and gives them help in all their temporal troubles. He is represented to us, as counting their sighs, putting their tears into his bottle, recording their sorrows in his book of remembrance (Psalm 61:8); and even, as being himself “touched with the feeling of their infirmities”, (Hebrews 4:15), as the head feels for the members of the body.”- John Newton
Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments--are absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritually-minded. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine--and the refiner's furnace to the gold.- J.C. Ryle
