Don't waste your sorrows
Alexander MacLaren
The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.
Alexander MacLaren
The never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
Alexander MacLaren
The grace of God, says Luther, is like a flying summer shower. It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away.
Alexander MacLaren
A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on.
Alexander MacLaren
Brethren, understand that the gospel is a gospel which brings a present salvation and try to feel that it is not presumption, but simply out of the very fundamental principle of it, when you are not afraid to say, I know that my Redeemer is yonder, and I know that He loves me.
Alexander MacLaren
Ah, there is nothing more beautiful than the difference between the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a holy being, and the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a self-righteous being. The one is all contempt the other, all pity.
Alexander MacLaren
I am satisfied, for I awake in Thy likeness.
Alexander MacLaren
God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of His making but He does not give us power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is.
Alexander MacLaren
The grave has a door on its inner side.
Alexander MacLaren
Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins.
Alexander MacLaren
Let me always remember that it is not the amount of religious knowledge which I have, but the amount which I use, that determines my religious position and character.
Alexander MacLaren
The act of faith, which separates us from all men, unites us for the first time in real brotherhood and they who, one by one, come to Jesus and meet Him alone, next find that they are come to the city of God and to an innumerable company.
Alexander MacLaren
Trust yourselves, my brethren, to the immortal love and perfect work of the Divine Saviour, and by His dear might your days will advance by peaceful stages, whereof each gathers up and carries forward the blessings of all that went before, to a death which shall be a birth.
Alexander MacLaren
A living man must have a living God, or his soul will perish in the midst of earthly plenty, and will thirst and die whilst the water of earthly delights is running all around him. We are made to need persons not things.
Alexander MacLaren
Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
Alexander MacLaren
Heaven is endless longing, accompanied with an endless fruition-a longing which is blessedness, a longing which is life.
Alexander MacLaren
We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
Christ wrought out His perfect obedience as a man, through temptation, and by suffering.
Alexander MacLaren
Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a bard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
