Spurgeon’s Daily Help
No human mind can fully grasp the infinite value of Christ’s sacrifice. As great as the sins of God’s people are, the atonement that removes them is far greater. So even when sin overwhelms you and the memory of your past is bitter, you can stand confidently before God’s holy throne and say, “Who can
condemn me? It’s Christ who died and rose again.” While the memory of your sin brings shame and sorrow, it also highlights the brightness of God’s mercy—sin is the dark night where the bright star of divine love shines most beautifully.

Maturity in grace makes it easier to let go of the world. A green apple needs to be twisted off the branch, but ripe fruit falls off easily. Similarly, maturity in grace makes it easier to leave this life behind; the unripe fruit is hard to knock down,
but the ripe fruit falls at the slightest touch. Those who are ready for Heaven leave this life without regret, and often with eagerness.
