Charles Spurgeon’s response to his worst days….

 

I bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days. And when God has seemed most cruel to me, He has then been most kind.

If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else, it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these things the richest, tenderest love has been manifested to me.

Our Father’s wagons rumble most heavily when they are bringing us the richest freight of the bullion of his grace. Love letters from heaven are often sent in black-edged envelopes.

The cloud that is black with horror is big with mercy. Fear not the storm. It brings healing in its wings, and when Jesus is with you in the vessel, the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.

Lam 3:23 says "Thy tender love and mercy ("racham" in Hebrew) is new every morning" – have you savored it today?
