Today’s Quote
True maturity is being content to go wherever Christ leads, whether in joy or suffering.
— Hudson Taylor
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
The highest level of maturity is to have no wish, no thought, no desire other than Christ—to feel that dying would be bliss if it were for Christ—that living in poverty, suffering, scorn, and misery would be sweet for Christ—to feel that it doesn’t matter what happens to you as long as your Master is
exalted—to feel that even though you are like a dry leaf blown by the wind, you don’t care where you’re going as long as you know the Master’s hand is guiding you according to His will.

Blessed are those who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors, and their deeds follow them. The quiet rest of their bodies will not be disturbed until God wakes them to give them their full reward. Guarded by angels and covered by eternal mysteries,
they sleep on, the heirs of glory, until the fullness of time brings the fullness of redemption. What an awakening it will be!
