The choicest, sweetest, wisest, strongest Christian – Thomas Brooks

Remember that it is not hasty reading but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, which makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul.

It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee which gathers honey but her abiding for a time on the flower which draws out the sweet.

It is not he who reads most, but he who meditates most who will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian.
