Richard Sibbes - A Christian is Rich All Alike

From Richard Sibbes' Complete Works, Volume 5, p. 180
Quote:
A Christian in a manner is rich all alike. For God is his portion, and howsoever a beam may be took away, the sun is his; take away a stream, the spring is his; in the poorest estate, God all-sufficient never takes away himself, Gen. xvii. 1. He knows this, and therefore he can want, he can be abased as long as he hath the spring of all.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry
