I guess that's why they call it grace...
Some quotes by Spurgeon, my thoughts after.
What an amazing God we serve. Thought I'd share these quotes with you.
What an amazing description in Isaiah of God having our names on his palms and what a beautiful description- Spurgeon puts it as God's infinite love.
On Sunday at church the sermon was themed on not 'trying harder' but coming to Christ and reflecting on his love for us- shown on the cross.
What a great analogy Spurgeon gives- the classical anaology of God being like water for the thirsty soul- only God can quench it and he will drench us in our spiritual desert.
Like it or not- God even loves me- no doubt after yesterday the amount of backbiting that has occured about me, no doubt I'm now the banality of evil 😂.
But hey even if you don't like it, God has grace for me- and he does for you too!
When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue in it.
It is not the law, but the gospel which saves the seeking soul at first; and it is not a legal bondage, but gospel liberty which can restore the fainting believer afterwards.
Slavish fear brings not back the backslider to God, but the sweet wooings of love allure him to Jesus' bosom.
Water refreshes the thirsty: you shall be refreshed,
All the riches of divine grace you shall receive in plenty; you shall be as it were drenched with it
He keeps his promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt him. He never faileth; he is never a dry well; he is never as a setting sun, a passing meteor, or a melting vapour; and yet we are as continually vexed with anxieties, molested with suspicions, and disturbed with fears, as if our God were the mirage of the desert.
Heaven and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written upon the palms of his hands. "I have graven thee." It does not say, "Thy name." The name is there, but that is not all: "I have graven thee." See the fulness of this! I have graven thy person, thine image, thy case, thy circumstances, thy sins, thy temptations, thy weaknesses, thy wants, thy works; I have graven thee, everything about thee, all that concerns thee; I have put thee altogether there. Wilt thou ever say again that thy God hath forsaken thee when he has graven thee upon his own palms?
