Image
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
Image
Here is the manliness of manhood, that a man has a good reason for what he does, and has a will in doing it.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Unless we are wedded to Jesus Christ by the simple act of trust in His mercy and His power, Christ is nothing to us.

Trust Christ! and a great benediction of tranquil repose comes down upon the calm mind and the tranquil heart.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Logically, faith comes first, and love next but in life they will spring up together in the soul the interval which separates them is impalpable, and in every act of trust, love is present and fundamental to every emotion of love to Christ is trust in Christ.
