“Why then are we here? Would God keep His children out of paradise a single moment longer than was necessary? Why is the army of the living God still on the battlefield when one charge might give them the victory? Why are His children still wandering hither and thither through a maze, when a solitary word from His lips would bring them into the centre of their hopes in heaven? The answer is—they are here that they may “live unto the Lord,” and may bring others to know His love. We remain on earth as sowers to scatter good seed; as ploughmen to break up the fallow ground; as heralds publishing salvation. We are here as the “salt of the earth,” to be a blessing to the world.—Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening”

“My little heart still swayed, but it swayed between the reality of what I saw and the hope of what faith in God can imagine, and tried to find rest in the middle.”

“I tried to dig myself into the Bible on my good days, and bury myself in Spurgeon on the bad ones. Because on the bad days, I simply couldn't understand a God who was okay with shunts and feeding tubes, so I read the words of those who had Him more figured out than I did.”
