Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness.
Richard Sibbes
When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.
Richard Sibbes
Let weak Christians know that a spark from heaven, though kindled under green wood that sobs and smokes, yet it will consume all at last.
Richard Sibbes
God will have the body partake with the soul-as in matters of grief, so in matters of joy the lanthorn shines in the light of the candle within.
Richard Sibbes
If we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.
Richard Sibbes
God's truth always agrees with itself.
Richard Sibbes
The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.
Richard Sibbes
Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof.
Richard Sibbes
Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.
Richard Sibbes
When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.
Richard Sibbes
God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives.
Richard Sibbes
The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.
Richard Sibbes
What coward would not fight when he is sure of victory?
Richard Sibbes
Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.
Richard Sibbes
Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
Richard Sibbes
We cannot say this or that trouble shall not befall, yet we may, by help of the Spirit, say, nothing that doth befall shall make me do that which is unworthy of a Christian.
Richard Sibbes
Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.
Richard Sibbes
We are only safe when we wisely make use of all good advantages that we have access to. By going out of God's ways we go out of His government, and so lose our good frame of mind, and find ourselves overspread quickly with a contrary disposition. When we draw near to Christ (James 4:8), in His ordinances, He draws near to us.
Richard Sibbes
It is atheism to pray and not wait on hope.
Richard Sibbes
Providence is the perpetuity and continuance of creation.
