Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quotes

Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace.

Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.

If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

A Jesus who never wept could never wipe away my tears.

Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants, then pride will be impossible.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.

God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.

How often have you and I helped to keep sinners easy in their sin, by our inconsistency! Had we been true Christians, the wicked man would often have been pricked to the heart, and his conscience would have convicted him.

May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.

There should be as much difference between the worldling and the Christian, as between hell and heaven, between destruction and eternal life.

There are no crown-bearers in heaven that were not cross-bearers here below.

I bear my testimony that there is no joy to be found in all this world like that of sweet communion with Christ. I would barter all else there is of heaven for that. Indeed, that is heaven. As for the harps of gold and the streets like clear glass and the songs of seraphs and the shouts of the redeemed, one could very well give all these up, counting them as a drop in a bucket, if we might forever live in fellowship and communion with Jesus.

I bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days. And when God has seemed most cruel to me he has then been most kind. If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these things the richest tenderest love has been manifested to me. Our Father's wagons rumble most heavily when they are bringing us the richest freight of the bullion of his grace. Love letters from heaven are often sent in black-edged envelopes. The cloud that is black with horror is big with mercy. Fear not the storm. It brings healing in its wings and when Jesus is with you in the vessel the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.

"The nearer a man lives to God, the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart." -Charles Spurgeon

Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
