Spurgeon’s Daily Help
The most important part of human life is not its end, but its beginning. Our death day is the child of the past, but our opening years are the sires of the future. At the last hour men summon to their bed-side a solemnity of thought which arrives too late for any practical result. The hush and awe and
far-away look, so frequent in departing moments, should have come much sooner. Commend us to the example of the Hebrew king, who fasted and wore sackcloth while the child was yet alive. Wisely did he foresee the uselessness of lamenting when the scene should close. "Can I bring him back again?" is one of the most serious of questions.

Nothing is made in vain. Though no lip of man is moistened by the brooklet in the lone valley, yet other creatures need refreshment, and these slake their thirst at the stream. Is this nothing? Must everything exist for man, or else be wasted? God thinks
not so. What but our pride and selfishness could have suggested such a notion? It is not true that flowers which blush unseen of human eye are wasting their sweetness, for the bee finds them out, and other winged wanderers live on their luscious juices.
