I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.
Charles SpurgeonNo stars gleam as brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky. No water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand. And no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known Godโs strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.
Charles SpurgeonThose who think themselves secure are more exposed to danger than any others. The armor-bearer of sin is self-confidence .
Charles SpurgeonYou are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.
Charles Spurgeon
