“When you sailors see the haven before you, though you were mightily troubled before you could see any land, yet when you come near the shore and can see a certain land-mark, that contents you greatly. A godly man, in the midst of the waves and storms that he meets with, can see the glory of heaven before him and so contents himself. One drop of the sweetness of heaven is enough to take away all the sourness and bitterness of all the afflictions in the world.” MenWorldEnoughCertainHeavenLandHavensGloryMarkWaveStormMidstBitternessShoreAfflictionSweetnessGodlySailorGodly Man Book:Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Source: Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment

“You will not find one Godly man who came out of an affliction worse than when he went into it. Though for a little while he was shaken, yet, at last, he was better for an affliction. But, a great many Godly men have been worse for their prosperity.” MenLittlesHas BeensLastsProsperityGreat MenAfflictionGodlyGodly Man Author:Jeremiah Burroughs
