Charles SpurgeonGod 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 SpurgeonI am afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours, might almost lie on a penny.

It is the best book in a ministerโs library.
Charles Spurgeon
