Rich words today from Susannah Spurgeon (yes, his wife):
Glorious Lord, such measureless,
wonderful love is indeed incomprehensible; but I ask that Your gracious Spirit
may strengthen the eyes of my mind -- that I may see something more of the glory
and beauty of Your rich grace, and that He may enable the hands of my faith to
cling tenaciously to the everlasting consolation which lies in the fact of Your
eternal, unchanging, and covenant love in Christ Jesus! When, in response to
the skeptical suggestions of my own evil heart, or the malicious insinuations of
the enemy of souls, I can confidently say, "All this is because the Lord loved
me," it is evident that faith has quenched the fiery darts -- that I stand upon
a rock which no powers of earth or hell can move -- I am hidden in the pavilion,
unassailable by the craftiest foe; I have an overflowing well of joy in my heart
which no drought can dry up, and no impurity can defile.
