— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

The love of God is where man, acknowledging God’s goodness and favor towards him, loves Him above all things.
— William Perkins (1558-1602)
Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.
— Isaac Watts (1674 – 1748)
It is because we have such shallow views of God’s love that we have such defective views of God’s dealings. We blindly interpret the symbols of His providence, because we so imperfectly read the engravings of His heart.
— Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)

The more a true saint loves God with a truly gracious love, the more he desires to love Him, and the more miserable he is at his lack of love to Him.
