The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
John Bunyan

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
John Bunyan
Image
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan

No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
John Bunyan
Image
Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.

As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
