Our soul should be a mirror of Christ; we should reflect every feature: for every grace in Christ there should be a counterpart in us.

Lord make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be.

Just so take Christ away, and the whole arch of truth becomes a heap of rubbish. The very same truths may be there; but they are all fallen without coherence, without order, without end.

A man who loves you the most is the man who tells you the most truth about yourself.

Oh, for closest communion with God, till soul and body, head, face, and heart—shine with Divine brilliancy! But oh! for a holy ignorance of our shining!

Get your texts from God—your thoughts, your words, from God. In great measure, according to the purity and perfection’s of the instrument, will be success. It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousands words spoken in unbelief and sin.

Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
