Heart (11)
They do not love the law that are always full of excuses, and pretend occasions to neglect the service of God; excuses are always a sign of a naughty heart.
The more others despise the ways and laws of God, the more should a gracious heart love and esteem them.
Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think.... It is wounding work, of course, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving.... Where there is grafting there is a cutting, the scion must be let in with a wound; to stick it on to the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back, or there will be no sap from root to branch, and this I say, must be done by a wound.
Spiritual things truly satisfy! The more that heaven is in us—the less earth that will content us. He who has once tasted the love of God, his thirst is much quenched towards earthly things. The joys of God's Spirit are heart-filling and heart-cheering joys; he who has these, has heaven begun in him!https://gracegems.org/Watson/art_of_divine_contentment2.htm
He who has not the love of God rooted in his heart will fall away in time of temptation.https://www.ccel.org/ccel/watson/cordial.ix.html
New Quotes

The sins of others are glasses in which we may see our own hearts.
Believing, repenting, and the like, are the product of the new nature; and can never be produced by the old corrupt nature. The heart is shut against Christ: man cannot open it, only God can do it by his grace.
It is dangerous to be more notion than motion; to have faith in the head and none in the heart; to have an idle and not an active faith.
My hands are but the midwife, to bring my thoughts, the conception of my heart into the world.
