Christ is not sweet until sin is made bitter to us!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Delight in divine service is a token of acceptance. Those who serve God with a sad countenance, because they do what is unpleasant to them, are not serving Him at all; they bring the form of homage, but the life is absent. That obedience which is not voluntary is disobedience, for the Lord looks at the
heart, and if He sees that we serve Him from force, and not because we love Him, He will reject our offering. Service coupled with cheerfulness is heart-service, and therefore true. Take away joyful willingness from the Christian, and you have removed the test of his sincerity.
Cheerfulness is the support of our strength; in the joy of the Lord are we strong.

There is nothing little to a father in the thing that troubles his little child; and your great God, having once condescended to observe and care for you, numbering the very hairs of your head, and not suffering a sparrow to fall to the ground without
his purpose and decree, will not think that you intrude upon him if you bring your daily troubles to him, even the little ones.
