“Nothing in all the vast universe can come to pass otherwise than God has eternally purposed. Here is a foundation of faith. Here is a resting place for the intellect.

“If God does not give you that which you like he will give that which you need. A physician does not so much study to please the taste of the patient, as to cure his disease.

Thomas Watson
“No sinner was ever saved by giving his heart to God. We are not saved by our giving, we are saved by God’s giving.”
