Were you to ask me, 'how it fares with my soul?' I would answer, sometimes very well, and sometimes very indifferent, but always infinitely better than I deserve.—Thomas Charles

He has always been good to me, infinitely better than I deserve. Let us leave all with Him; His time is best.

I am more and more convinced that nothing deserves to be called life that is not devoted to the service of God; and that piety is the only true wisdom....
My spirits are rather low; but my mind is composed, and in some measure resigned to the leading and conduct of Divine Providence. The narrow bounds of my experience have furnished me with such a conviction of the vanity of this world, and the illusion of its prospects, that I indulge no eager hopes. If God enables me to do some little good, and preserves me from great calamities, it will be enough, and infinitely more than I deserve; for I have been, in the most emphatic sense of the word, "an unprofitable servant."
—Robert Hall
But the work is all God's; and I stand and look on to see him work; and this is favor enough, and infinitely more than I deserve.
—Edward Payson
