"All my changes come from him who never changes. If I had grown rich, I should have seen his hand in it, and I should have praised him; let me equally see his hand if I am made poor, and let me as heartily praise him. When we go down in the world, it is of the Lord, and so we may take it patiently: when we rise in the world, it is of the Lord, and we may accept it thankfully. In any case, the Lord hath done it, and it is well.
It seems that Jehovah's way is to lower those whom he means to raise, and to strip those whom he intends to clothe. If it is his way, it is the wisest and best way. If I am now enduring the bringing low I may well rejoice, because I see in it the preface to the lifting up. The more we are humbled by grace, the more we shall be exalted in glory. That impoverishment is to be welcomed."
Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith by C.H. Spurgeon

Great quote. Your blog has inspired me to try to update my blog more often.... I like the way you organinzed yours. Especially having keywords to take you to the different subjects you talk about. The inspiration might fade with the sleep I am about to get but we will see.
Thanks for stopping by Justin!
