John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!
John Bunyan
Image
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
