God, the Great Gardener
The great Master Gardener in his wonderful providence has planted me in this part of his vineyard by his grace, and here I grow and abide till the great Master of the vineyard thinks it fit to transplant me.

O Safe to the Rock That Is Higher Than I
Believe God’s word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your Rock is Christ, and it is not the Rock which ebbs and flows, but your sea.
Indeed, the Strangest Flower of All
Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather, and under storms of affliction.

Set Your Sails by Jesus
In our fluctuation of feelings, it is well to remember . . . your heart is not the compass Jesus sails by.

The Blossom of Humility
Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather, and under storms of affliction.

One Step from Prison to Glory
When we shall come home, and enter into the possession of our Brother’s fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, then we shall look back to pains and sufferings and then we will see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory. Our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night’s welcome-home to heaven.
INDESCRIBABLE!
No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.
Our Light Affliction
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night’s welcome home to Heaven.
