Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.
Charles SpurgeonI always give all the glory to God, but I do not forget that He gave me the privilege of ministering from the first to a praying people. We had prayer meetings that moved our very souls, each one appeared determined to storm the Celestial City by the might of intercession.
