A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The Saint's everlasting hope

O! the heavy wrath of God on a world of poor, blind ignorant men that have no hope, no hope of Christ, no hope of glory unless a flattering dead hope. What a sad thing it is to think of a number of men that are buried in the world, and never to awaken till they see Christ in the clouds of heaven coming to be revenged on them. O! methinks I see them down before the Judgement Seat and crying out, "O! that we had known of this day! O! Alas that I had hope! but not such an hope, but am now decieved." O! It is otherwise with saints; they shall find that they hoped for, and infinitely more…behold the Lord cometh that shall deliver and redeem them! O! see their blessedness and let it draw you to make up a match with Christ, that never did it yet. He has been wooing of you, longing for you… Give thyself this day to Him and take Him only, when nothing thou hast can be so pleasing as Him. And now you may look and believe what one day you shall feel to your everlasting comfort.[Thomas Shepard]
