God gives good gifts
Here's my favorite thing that God has given me today...a few paragraphs from Charles Spurgeon's book Joy in Christ's Presence.
The heart is by nature as restless as the ocean's waves. It seeks an object for its affection, and when it finds one beneath the stars, it is doomed to sorrow.
The more tender the heart, the greater its unrest.
To such individuals, the Lord Jesus says, "Come unto me...and I will give you rest."
Look here, you loving ones, for here is a refuge for your wounded love! You may delight yourselves in the Well Beloved and never fear that He will fail or forget you. Love will not be wasted, however much it may be lavished upon Jesus. He deserves it all, and He requites it all. In loving Him, the heart finds a delicious contentment.
