A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

God's means to save men from themselves

God breaks some mens hearts for sin; namely, because he would not have them die in it, but rather come to God, that they might be saved. Behold, therefore, in this, how God resolved as to the saving of some men’s soul! He will have them, he will save them. He will break their hearts, but he will save them; he will kill them, that they may live; he will wound them, that he may heal them. And it seems by our discourse that now there is no way left but this; fair means as we say, will not do; good words, a glorious gospel, entreating, beseeching with blood and tears, will not do. Men are resolved to put God to the utmost of it; if he will have them, he must fetch them, follow them, catch them, lame them, yea, break their bones, or else he shall not save them. [John Burnayn]
