Favorite Richard Sibbes Quotes

1. "God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives." ~ Richard Sibbes
2. "See a flame in a spark, a tree in a seed. See great things in little beginnings." ~ Richard Sibbes
3. "Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by)." ~ Richard Sibbes
4. "?"Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof." ~ Richard Sibbes
5. "This bruising is required before conversion that so the Spirit may make way for himself into the heart by levelling all proud, high thoughts, and that we may understand ourselves to be what indeed we are by nature. We love to wander from ourselves and to be strangers at home, till God bruises us by one cross or other, and then we `begin to think', and come home to ourselves with the prodigal (Luke 15:17). It is a very hard thing to bring a dull and an evasive heart to cry with feeling for mercy. Our hearts, like criminals, until they be beaten from all evasions, never cry for the mercy of the judge." ~ Richard Sibbes
6. "It is good to divert our sorrow for other things to the root of all, which is sin. Let our grief run most in that channel, that as sin bred grief, so grief may consume sin." ~ Richard Sibbes
7. "There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us." ~ Richard Sibbes
8. "Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory." ~ Richard Sibbes
9. "Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness." ~ Richard Sibbes
