Keep up a humble sense of your own faults and that will make you compassionate to others.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
First, let’s consider what we’re supposed to share. It should be a story of personal experience. "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you." Not just what you believe, but what you’ve experienced—what you truly know for yourself. Not what
you’ve read, but what the Lord has done for you personally. Not just what you’ve seen happen in a large gathering, or how many sinners have turned to God, but what the Lord has done for you. And remember this: there’s never a more interesting story than the one a person tells about themselves.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book
June 24
Just as on a hot day, a traveler strips off his clothes and plunges into a cool, refreshing stream, coming out refreshed and ready to continue, so when a soul learns, either in prayer or praise, to truly draw near to God, it bathes itself in the streams
of Heaven (flowing from the river of the water of life) and continues on its journey renewed with heavenly strength.

Spurgeon’s Quote
He who has never sorrowed for sin, has never rejoiced in the Savior. The more you rejoice in Christ, the more you will sorrow for sin.
