“It is well for us when prayers about our sorrows are linked with pleas concerning our sins—when, being under God's hand, we are not wholly taken up with our pain, but remember our offences against God.”

“The theme of the Bible is not that the world's not messy but that God's at work in the mess.”
― Matt Chandler

“Thou hast gone on in all thy life hitherto, ever since thou wast born, in a continual opposition to God Himself, unto the infinite Lord, the eternal first being of all the world; thy life hath been nothing but enmity to this God: thou hast as directly opposed, and striven against, and resisted Him, as ever man did oppose, and resist, and strive with another man, and this thou hast done in the whole course of thy life: certainly there is more in this to humble a man than anything that can be spoken to shew him the evil of sin.”
― Jeremiah Burroughs, The Evil of Evils: The Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin

“Every moment thou waitest does but increase thy misery; thine attempts to plume thyself and make thyself fit for Jesus are all vanity.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, Based on the English Standard Version
