When you fail, do not let Satan tempt you to discouragement, but come and cast yourself on Christ. Faith and repentance are not one-time acts; you must live your life believing and repenting.
— Richard Sibbes
Affliction
When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.
— Richard Sibbes
Worship
In our worst condition we have cause to praise God.
— Richard Sibbes
Emotions
Measure not God’s love and favor by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof.
— Richard Sibbes
Humility
It is God’s free love that has cast us into these happy times of the Gospel, and it is further love that makes choice of some and leaves others. This should therefore teach us sound humility, considering that God must open the heart or else it will remain eternally shut.
— Richard Sibbes
