Today’s Quote
The richness of grace and the preciousness of Christ’s sacrifice are the pledges of our eternal transformation.
— A.W. Tozer
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Oh, new believer, trembling with anxiety—if you haven’t yet fully experienced the beauty of your Savior’s face or the majesty of His character, let your heart be fully aware of the richness of His grace and the preciousness of His sacrifice. These are the pledges of your relationship with Him, so love
Him for these, and in due time, He will reveal even greater wonders and glories to you. Then you will be able to say, "O the source of my life and strength of my heart, I will sit and sing under Your protection, yes, I will sing a song of love for my Beloved."

Look at that crawling worm—how insignificant it seems! It’s just the beginning of something greater. Now look at that butterfly with its gorgeous wings, playing in the sunlight and sipping from flowers, full of happiness and life—that’s the end result.
That caterpillar is like you before you die, but when Christ appears, you will be like Him, for you will see Him as He is.
