Today’s Quote
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the flower of grace gives to the sinner.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
What a joy it is to be fully forgiven! My soul dedicates everything to the One who, out of His own free love, became my surety and secured my redemption through His blood. What incredible grace is shown in such complete forgiveness! To forgive at all, to forgive fully, freely, and forever—these are truly
amazing wonders. When I consider how great my sins were and how precious the blood was that washed them away, I am overwhelmed with awe and love. I bow before the throne that pardons me; I cling to the cross that sets me free. From now on, I serve the Incarnate God, through whom I am a forgiven soul today.

Every now and then, you might find a daisy peeking out from the frost, living up to its nickname as the "robin of flowers." This is much like the comforting thoughts of faith that spring up when our hearts are frozen with grief. These thoughts are always
encouraging and have a special beauty that isn’t found in the more common joys of good times. No matter how harsh the season, God doesn’t forget us. He gives us songs in the night and flowers in December.
