We are God's workmanship, in whom he will be glorified by our afflictions. It is for the honour of Jesus that we endure the trial of our faith with sacred joy. Let each man surrender his own longings to the glory of Jesus, and feel, "If my lying in the dust would elevate my Lord by so much as an inch, let me still lie among the pots of earth. If to live on earth for ever would make my Lord more glorious, it should be my heaven to be shut out of heaven."
-Spurgeon

Oh, the way Spurgeon expresses what should be the longing of our hearts!!! By God's grace we have come this far, and he will not forsake us now. Gigi
