CURE OF DISCOURAGEMENTS BY FAITH IN CHRIST, Lifting up of the Downcast, Puritan Book

"To know that nothing hurts the godly, is a matter of comfort; but to be assured that all things which fall out shall co-operate for their good, that their crosses shall be turned into blessings, that showers of affliction water the withering root of their grace and make it flourish more; this may fill their hearts with joy till they run over."

• Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive at http://bit.ly/ci3g2z)

"Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet."

• John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

"We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love."

• John Owen (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

"So in love is Christ with holiness that he will buy it with his blood for us."

• John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

"We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much."

• Thomas Brooks (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

"Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again -- you will never come to the bottom of these depths!"

• Robert Murray McCheyne (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

"They who love any thing better than Christ are not worthy of him."

• Covenanter field Minister James Renwick, on the day of his martyrdom (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Prayer keeps the heart open to God -- but shut to sin.
