See the hand of God in all events, and thereby become reconciled to His dispensations. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
Of how much real happiness we cheat our souls by preferring a trifle to God! We have a general intention of living religion; but we intend to begin tomorrow or next year. The present moment we prefer giving to the world. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
I am persuaded that the chief reason why we do not enjoy religion is that we do not try to enjoy it. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
Love to Jesus is a sure title to the greatest possible happiness; for Jesus is omnipotent and has determined to make his friends happy, and surely will not forget a single one in whose heart is enkindled one spark of love. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
My prospects for life, though in a measure shaded with uncertainty, hardship and danger, are very animating and bright. My prospects for another life, blessed be God, are still brighter. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
A life once spent is irrevocable. It will remain to be contemplated through eternity. If it be marked with sins, the marks will be indelible. If it has been a useless life, it can never be improved. Such it will stand forever and ever. The same may be said of each day. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
Consider this point. It is a main point of true wisdom. Whenever there is an execution of purpose, there must be an agent. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night, let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked. Adoniram Judson Read Quote
