Trembling in Faith

Prodigal: I feel like something the cat dragged in.

Me: That long of day can only have one solution.

Prodigal: Please share.

Me: The following will help!

This is from the book Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon

Beloved, may you catch a glimpse of Jesus now! Though it is only a glimpse, it will delight and comfort your soul. Perhaps you are waiting for Christ, desiring His company, and while you are turning this over in your mind you are asking, “Will He ever shine upon me? Will He ever speak loving words to me? Will He ever let me sit at His feet? Will He ever permit me to rest my head in His lap?” Come and try Him. Though you may shake like a leaf, come.

Sometimes they come best who come most tremblingly, for when the creature is lowest, then the Creator is highest; and when in our own esteem we are less than nothing, then Christ is fairer and lovelier in our eyes. One of the best ways to reach heaven is on our hands and knees. At any rate, there is no fear of falling when we are in that position.

Encourage one another and build each other up

1 Thessalonians 5:11
