God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child’s garments.
— William Gurnall
Prayer
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
— William Gurnall
The Bible and Its Translation
Bless God for the translation of the Scriptures. The Word is our sword; by being translated, the sword is drawn out of its scabbard.
— William Gurnall
Fear of God
We fear men so much because we fear God so little. One fear cures the another. When man’s terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.
— William Gurnall
Blessings
God forgives, then He gives; till He be merciful to pardon our sins through Christ, He cannot bless or look kindly upon us sinners. All our enjoyments are but blessings in bullion, till Gospel grace and pardoning mercy stamp and make them current.
— William Gurnall
