Faith & Trust
When my faith was asleep, Christ was awake; and now, when I am awake, I say He did all things well.
There are curtains to be drawn by in Christ, that we never saw, and new foldings of love in Him. I despair that ever I shall win to the far end of that love, there are so many plies in it.
Oh that I could sell my laughter, joy, ease, and all for Him, and be content with a straw bed, and bread by weight, and water by measure, in the camp of our weeping Christ!
Hang on, till ye get some good from Christ. Take ease yourself, and let Him bear all; lay all your weights and your loads, by faith, on Christ; He can, He will bear you.
I should desire to have my Lord well spoken of, and honored, howbeit He should make nothing of me but a bridge over a water.
Blessed are they who can deny themselves, and put Christ in the room of themselves.
Duties are ours, events are the Lord’s.
Love Him dearly. Win in to see Him; there is in Him that which you never saw. He is aye nigh; He is a tree of life, green and blossoming, both summer and winter. There is a nick in Christianity, to the which whosoever cometh, they see and feel more than others can do.
Oh that I might but stand in Christ’s out-house, or hold a candle in any low vault of His house!
