Today’s Quote
Beholding the face of God transforms the soul into His likeness.
— Jonathan Edwards
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
I can look at beauty and still be flawed myself. I can admire the light and still dwell in darkness; but if the light of God’s face shines on me, I will become like Him. His features will be reflected in me, and the great outlines of His attributes will become mine. Oh, what a wonderful mirror, which
makes the one who looks into it beautiful! Oh, what an amazing glass, which reflects not our own imperfections but gives a perfect image to those who are unworthy.
If you constantly draw your inspiration, your life, your entire being from the Holy Spirit, then you will see God and Jesus face to face.

How often does my soul feel like a nearly hatched chick, trapped in a narrow shell, in darkness and discomfort! The life within struggles hard to break free, to know a little more of the great world of truth, and to see more clearly the infinite love
of God. Oh, what a happy day it will be when the shell is broken, and the soul, complete in the image of Christ, enters into the freedom for which it has been preparing!
