"The human heart is most deceitful and desperately 
wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jer. 17:9

It is our mercy, if we only feel and groan under 
corruption inwardly, without it breaking forth 
outwardly—to wound our own souls, grieve the 
people of God, and gladden our enemies. 

Let God but take the cover off the boiling 
cauldron of our corrupt nature, and the filthy 
scum would surface in the sight of all men!

"Hold me up, and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117

When the cold winds are whistling over your grave

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on 
what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, 
but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor. 4:18

How really empty and worthless are all human 
cares and anxieties, as well as all human hopes
and pleasures—when viewed in the light of a 
vast and endless eternity!

In twenty years, today's price of oil will probably 
mean little to you. But it will matter much whether 
your soul is in heaven or hell.

When the cold winds are whistling over your grave, 
or the warm sun resting on it—what will it matter 
whether sheep sold badly or well at the market?

Could we realize eternal things more, we would 
be less anxious about temporal things. It is only 
our unbelief and carnality which fetter us down to 
the poor things of time and sense.

"This world is fading away, along with everything
it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will
live forever." 1 John 2:17
