Puritan Wisdom

“You may find in your own experience that God has many times most crossed you in the things of the earth when your minds and hearts have been most glued to them. And it may be that He has done it in mercy. It’s a greater mercy to be crossed in these things at such a time than to prosper in the midst of them, for it may be a good argument that God intends good to a soul to cross him at the time he is most earthly.” – Jeremiah Burroughs, A Treatise of Earthly-Mindedness, 64.
