Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
In all our wanderings the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us—we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye. In our sorrows he observes us incessantly, and not a pang escapes him; in our toils he marks all our weariness, and writes in his book all the struggles of his faithful
ones. These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being.
Dear reader, is this precious to you? then hold to it. The Lord lives and thinks upon us, this is a truth far too precious for us to be lightly robbed of it. If the Lord thinks upon us, all is well, and we may rejoice evermore.

If we would have wheat we must plough and sow; if we wish for flowers we must plant a garden, and tend it with care. Now, contentment is Heaven's earthly paradise, and if we would enjoy its fruits and flowers we must cultivate it, and look well to the
soil of our hearts. It is the new nature alone that can produce the flower called heartsease, and even then we must be specially careful lest ambition or unbelief should choke it.
