God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?
Charles SpurgeonDarkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
Charles SpurgeonNothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.
Charles SpurgeonDo not become self-sufficient . Self-sufficienc y is Satanโs net where he catches men, like poor silly fish, and destroys them. Be not self-sufficient . The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself. God pours no power into manโs heart till manโs power is all poured out. Live, then, daily, a life of dependence on the grace of God.
Charles Spurgeon
