Spurgeon’s Daily Help
He has been good to me in all my needs, trials, struggles, and sorrows. There could never be a better Master because His service is freedom, and His rule is love. The saints of old found Him to be a good Master, and each of them rejoiced to say, "I am your servant, O Lord!" I will share this testimony
with my friends and neighbors, hoping they might be led to seek my Lord Jesus as their Master. Oh, that they would do so! They would never regret such a wise decision. If they would take His easy yoke, they would find themselves in such a royal service that they would commit to it forever.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book

There’s always variety in nature; every landscape is different. You never see two hills shaped the same way or two rivers that follow the same course from their source to the sea. Nature despises monotony, and so does the work of the Holy Spirit. In the
work of conversion, the purpose is the same, but the ways and means are not uniform.

It is a sad thing, that after all of Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him.
