Today’s Quote A faithful friend is a strong defense; they will tell you the truth, even when it hurts. — Thomas Brooks

Spurgeon’s Daily Help A true friend is someone who will point out your faults with kindness and care. You can trust a person who will honestly tell you when you’re wrong. Give me a friend who will speak openly to my face, not one who gossips to others, but who will come straight to me and say, "I see something wrong in you,

my brother, and I need to tell you about it." That’s a true friend—they’ve proven it. We don’t usually get praise for pointing out people’s faults; in fact, we risk their dislike. Sometimes they might thank you for it, but they won’t always like you more because of it. Public domain content from Daily Help by Charles Spurgeon.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book June 21 I walked under a camphor tree and picked a few leaves, finding them full of camphor—the whole tree was saturated with it. In the same way, the grace of God should show itself throughout the believer’s entire life. The renewed nature of a believer should

naturally produce gracious words and actions, even in the smallest things. Little things reveal character best because we’re less on guard. Let even the smallest of your words reflect the grace that lives within you. Public domain content from The Spurgeon Birthday Book by Charles Spurgeon
