Whenever I have suffered a grievous wrong, it has been a satisfaction to me that, if my Lord Jesus Christ made atonement for my offenses and my wrongs, I can look at His atonement for the wrong done to me as well as to God, for He satisfied all parties in that quarrel. Gladly do I say, “Surely this poor should may well be forgiven by me, for you have died as the sinner’s Substitute. In comparison with my own offenses against God, I may well look upon this man’s offense as nothing.”

"O Lord, put down this riot. I am tossed to and fro in my heart about my circumstance. I do not like them and I quarrel with You about them. Come, peace of God! Come and put down my murmuring! Come and calm my wicked, discontented spirit."

"We ought to be resolved to judge all things by the peace of God. What ought I to do in this case? Must I humble myself? I do not like it, but how ought I to act? Shall I yield? Pride says, Never! No, no! Play the man. Never give in. But what does the peace of God say? It says, Yield, submit. Christ says, I say unto you, that you resist not evil: but whoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also."
