If you have become bitter and sour, it is because when God gave you a blessing you hoarded it. Yet if you had poured it out to Him, you would have been the sweetest person on earth.
- Oswald Chambers
One drop of the sweetness of heaven is enough to take away all the sourness and bitterness of all the afflictions in the world.
- Jeremiah Burroughs
From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints good Lord deliver us.
- Teresa of Avila
John Wesley said, "A sour religion is the devil's religion."[284] The sure way to have a sour religion is to believe in a sour God. We play right into the devil's hands when we fail to recognize and teach the happiness of God.
