Today’s Quote
Is Christ God’s Beloved, with and in whom He is well pleased? And is He not your Beloved?
— Thomas Goodwin
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Sinner, let this be your comfort, that God sees you when you begin to repent. He does not see you with his usual gaze, with which he looks on all men, but he sees you with an eye of intense interest. He has been looking on you in all your sin, and in all your sorrow, hoping that you would repent; and
now he sees the first gleam of grace, and he beholds it with joy. Never warder on the lonely castle top saw the first gray light of morning with more joy than that with which God beholds the first desire in your heart.

Evil thoughts are the marrow of sin; the malt that sin is brewed from; the tinder which catches the sparks of the devil's temptations? the churn in which the milk of imagination is churned into purpose and plan; the nest in which all evil birds lay their
eggs. Be certain, then, that as surely as fire burns brushwood as well as logs, God will punish thoughts of sin as well as deeds of sin.
