"Now Christian, when the Word touches on your sin and says, 'Thou art the man', do you love the reproof? Can you bless God that 'the sword of the Spirit' has divided between you and your lusts? This is indeed a sign of grace and shows that you are a lover of the Word"

Thomas Watson, 'The Godly Man's Picture', p.66

Deep roots are not reached by frost.
