Cheer for Pilgrims

“Strangers and pilgrims.”
— 1 Peter 2:11

“I was always a solitary soul, thinking more for, than with people: but it is good to be more alone — most good, if it be more alone with Christ. What a place that is!”

“"God who comforts them that are cast down." Ah, I say, it is worth while being cast down for such comfort as that! … and think what it is to have God occupying Himself with us in our sorrows when we remember who He is.”
