How weak soever the believer finds himself, and how powerful soever he perceives his enemy to be, it is all one to him, he hath no more to do but to put faith on work, and to wait till God works. [David Dickson]

If so be that free-will were our tutor, and we had our heaven in our own keeping, then we would lose all. But because we have Christ for our tutor, and He has our heaven in His hand, therefore the covenant must be perpetual. [Samuel Rutherford]

I desire the dejected Christian to consider, that by his heavy and uncomfortable life, he seemeth to the world to accuse God and His service, as if he openly called him a rigorous, hard, unacceptable Master, and His work a sad unpleasant thing. I know that this is not your thoughts: I know it is yourselves and not God and his service that offendeth you; and that you walk heavily not because you are holy, but because you fear you are not holy, and because you are no more holy...If you see a servant always sad, that was wont to be merry while he served another master, will you not think that he hath a master that displeaseth him?...You are born and new born for God's honour and will you thus dishonour Him before the world? What do you (in their eyes) but dispraise Him by your very countenance and carriage? [Richard Baxter]

Take God into thy counsel. Heaven overlooks hell. God at any time can tell thee what plots are hatching there against thee. [William Gurnall]
