Spurgeon’s Daily Help
If his darkest nights are as bright as the world's days, what will his days be like? If even his starlight is more splendid than the sun, what must his sunlight be like? If he can praise the Lord in the midst of trials, how much more will he praise Him before the eternal throne! If what seems bad to
him now is actually good, what will the overflowing goodness of God be to him later? Oh, blessed "afterward!" Who wouldn’t want to be a Christian? Who wouldn’t carry the present cross for the crown that comes later? But this requires patience because the rest and triumph aren’t for today, but for "afterward." Wait, O soul, and let patience finish its work.

How wonderful it feels when your soul is full of life and joy, like birds in springtime, always singing and flitting from branch to branch, full of energy and delight. To be constant, eager in prayer and praise—this is true health, vigor, and joy. It’s
not always this way, but when we are in such a state, our days are like "days of Heaven upon earth."
