Prodigal: Be grateful when your mood is high, and graceful when your mood is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Wise words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from The Soul Winner by C.H. Spurgeon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you bring others to His feet, you give His joy, and no small joy, either. Is not this a wonderful text: “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” (Luke 15:10)? What does that mean? Does it mean that the angels have joy? We generally read it so, but that is not the intent of the verse. It says, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God.” That means there is joy in the heart of God, around whose throne the angels stand. It is a joy that angels delight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is this? Is the blessed God capable of greater joy than His own boundless happiness? What a wondrous thought! The infinite bliss of God is more eminently displayed, if it cannot be increased. Can we be the instruments of this? Can we do anything that will make the Ever Blessed glad? Yes, for we are told that the Great Father rejoices beyond measure when His prodigal son, who was dead, is alive again, and the lost one is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there they preached the gospel. Acts 14:17 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
