As sure as God puts His children in the furnace he will be in the furnace with them

If...you feel that if you could indulge in sin without punishment, yet it would be a punishment of itself; and that if you could have the whole world, and abide in it for ever, it would be quite enough misery not to be parted from it; for your God—your God—is what your soul craves after; then be of good courage, thou art a child of God.

If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem to be against us, we do not believe Him at all.

The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

God had one Son without sin, but not a single child without the rod

Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God's children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The 'many mansions' are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.
