Do you sometimes get discouraged because your faith is weak? Well, I do, and through God's gracious care for me, He recently gave me this word from Spurgeon. I hope it encourages you, too.
"Very many have come across my path, too, who are of a fearful heart because they have such little faith, and they fear that their little faith will not be sufficient. Ah, believer! your true riches do not depend upon the amount of your spending money. The Lord sometimes keeps his children rather short of pocket money; but, still, the whole of his riches belongs to them all the while. The unsearchable riches of Christ are the measure of our true wealth; not that portion which we can manage to lay hold of by the hand of faith. If I have, in my hand, but one farthing of faiths wealth, that is a proof that all the riches of Christ belong to me. If I have but faith as a grain of mustard seed, --so small that it looks as though the first bird of the air, that came my way, might carry it away, --yet, inasmuch as there is life hidden within that tiny mustard seed, a life which only needs the grace of God to expand and develop it,--I am saved, though my faith be but small." Spurgeons Expository Encyclopedia, v.7, page 305.
Blessings to all who read,
