To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more; to bleed, and die, and suffer.
Charles SpurgeonWhen the pangs shoot through our body, and ghastly death appears in view, people see the patience of the dying Christian. Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God's love glitters all the more brightly. Thank God I can suffer ! Thank God I can be made the object of shame and contempt, for in this way God shall be glorified.
Charles SpurgeonThe stool of repentance and the foot of the cross are the favorite positions of instructed Christians.
