Charles Spurgeon

God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.

A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why will you ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie?

Diane Ravitch
