"I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also."—John 14:2, 3 How shall I ever sufficiently enter into an apprehension of the love of Jesus? Much less, how shall I ever sufficiently love thee, and adore thee, thou unequalled pattern of excelling love, blessed, precious Jesus? Was it not enough to have given such palpable evidences of thy love in dying for poor sinners; but must thou tell them also before thy departure the cause for which thou art gone away, and to give them an assurance, at the same time, that thou wouldest come again, and take…

The Life And Ministry Of Anne Steele
It has been observed that many of our most approved hymn writers were unmarried—the list including Cowper, Sir E. Denny, Charlotte Elliott, Susannah Harrison, R. Murray M'Cheyne, Samuel Pearce, Thomas Row, Jane Taylor, A. M. Toplady, Anna Letitia Waring, Dr. Watts, Henry Kirke White, and the saintly lady whose name appears above.

O Lord, My Best Desire Fulfill
Philippians 4:10-13: "But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
