“The more rusty the nail is, the oftener we put it into the fire to purify it; and
the more crooked it is, the more blows and the harder blows we give to straighten it.
You have been long a-gathering rust! Therefore, if God deal thus with you, you have no cause to complain.”
"For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and chastises every son whom He receives." Hebrews 12:6

I could see how it would be hard for some as it is just a compilation of quotes…. I still like it!
How wise many might have been had they not been wise in their own opinion too early! Lean not to great parts, lean not to natural or acquired accomplishments, lest you lose them and yourselves too, lean upon precious promises, lean upon the rock that is higher than yourselves, lean upon the Lord Jesus Christ!

“Treasure these gems, and adorn thyself with them, by putting them into the golden setting of holy practice, which is the end the writer always aimed at. Use these "smooth stones" as David of old, and may the Lord direct them to the very forehead of thy sins, for this is the author's main design!” -Spurgeon
