God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.
— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
Christian, let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive for you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent.
Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that the fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.
— John Bunyan (1628–1688)
Consider how careful you would be if your thoughts were written on your forehead.
— Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
— William Gurnall (1617-1679)
He that has set up Christ in his heart will be sure to study to set Him up in his house. Let every family with you be a Christian church (! Cor. 16:19), every house a house of prayer; let every household say with Joshua, “I and my house will serve the Lord” (Josh. 24:15) and resolve with David, “I will walk within my house with a perfect heart” (Ps. 101:2).
— Joseph Alleine (1633-1668)
