Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Never neglect the Word of God. It will fill your heart with wisdom and understanding, and then your words, when you speak, will reflect the richness and depth of your heart. Fill your heart with generous love, and the actions that flow from your hands will be just as rich and generous. Christian, go
to the great source of all riches and ask the Holy Spirit to make your heart rich in salvation. Then your life and words will be a blessing to others, and when they see you, your face will shine like an angel of God.

Deep despair and heavy gloom can often be chased away if our hearts are filled with a deep love for Jesus and a passionate zeal for His honor. One strong fire can extinguish another, and a deeper spiritual struggle can overshadow all other griefs. The
hands of holy work remove the thorns of worry from the heart, while God pours out His blessings on the diligent soul, making the desert of sorrow bloom like a rose.
