Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"Stay with us, for the day is almost over." Beloved, remember what you’ve heard about your Lord Jesus and what He’s done for you. Make your heart the golden pot of manna to preserve the memory of the heavenly bread you’ve fed on in days gone by. Let your memory hold onto everything about Christ that
you’ve felt, known, or believed, and let your deep affection hold onto Him forever. Love your Lord! Bring out the alabaster box of your heart, even if it’s broken, and let all the precious ointment of your love pour out on His pierced feet.

When a person sees themselves as nothing, then Jesus Christ becomes everything to them—and not before. Self-importance is like a dark curtain over the windows of the soul. How can people see the gospel when they’re so focused on themselves? With such
a sense of their own righteousness to dress themselves in, is it any wonder they won’t accept the fine linen that is the righteousness of the saints?
