Blessings we enjoy daily, and for the most of them, because they be so common, men forget to pay their praises.

It was among the Parthians the custom that none was to give their children any meat in the morning before they saw the sweat on their faces, and you shall find this to be God's usual course not to give His children the taste of His delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.

Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven.

There are many locks in my house and all with different keys, but I have one master-key which opens them all. The Lord has many treasures and secrets all shut up from carnal minds with locks which they cannot open. But he who walks in fellowship with Jesus possesses the master-key which will open to him all the blessings of the covenant and even the very heart of God.

Blessedness consists in the accomplishment of our desires, and in our having only regular desires.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Make no mistake about it, responsibilities toward other human beings are the greatest blessings God can send us.
