Spurgeon’s Daily Help
If Christ is more precious at one time than another, it’s certainly during "the cloudy and dark day." We never see the true color of Christ’s love so well as in the night of weeping. Christ in the dungeon, Christ in sickness, Christ in poverty—this is Christ indeed to a sanctified person. No vision of
Christ is so much a revelation as the one seen in the Patmos of suffering. He proves His love not just with promises but with actual deeds of affection. As our sufferings increase, so does His comfort.

When I look at Peter, I admire his courage; when I look at Paul, I marvel at his dedication; when I look at John, I am amazed by his love. But when I behold the Savior, I am drawn not by any one virtue but by the perfect combination of them all. Each
saint wears a jewel, but on the breastplate of our High Priest, we see all the gems together.
