Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.

Image
If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction.

What labor and pains worldlings take to obtain the vain things of this life-to obtain the poor things of this world, which are but shadows and dreams, and mere nothings!

Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
Thomas Brooks
Image
He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
Thomas Brooks
Image
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.
Thomas Brooks
Image
An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it. It will never be well with thee, Christian, so long as thou art swayed by carnal reason, and you rely more upon thy five senses, than upon the four Evangelists. As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
