A contented Christian does not take his cross, but is willing to take that which GOD chooses, and is content with the kind and the duration of the cross. He will wait for GOD'S providence to remove it, but never force the door to escape from it.

Faith my be strongest when assurance is weakest: the woman of Canaan had no assurance, but she had glorious faith!
Assurance and fear are different, but not contrary, a child may have assurance of his father's love yet be afraid of offending him. Who more fearful of sin then the apostle Paul, yet who had stronger assurance? "Who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Faith procures assurance, fear preserves it. The godly fear and sin not; the wicked sin and fear not!
