God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
To believe a thing is to see the cool crystal water sparkling in the cup. But to meditate on it is to drink of it. Reading gathers the clusters contemplation squeezes forth their generous juice.
Charles Spurgeon
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
Charles Spurgeon
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.
Charles Spurgeon
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.
Charles Spurgeon
I met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.
Charles Spurgeon
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
There is nothing little in God His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.
Charles Spurgeon
Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.
Charles Spurgeon
Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle
Charles Spurgeon
The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
The devil never tempted a man whom he found judiciously employed.
Charles Spurgeon
The man who is deeply discontented with himself is probably growing fast into the full likeness of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
God notices every one of us there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.
Charles Spurgeon
Too many people write their blessings in the sand but engrave their sorrows in marble
Charles Spurgeon
From the descent of the Holy Spirit at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first, He is that now, for as God, He remains forever the same-whatever He did then He is able to do still, for His power is by no means diminished.
Charles Spurgeon
That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.
Charles Spurgeon
Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.
Charles Spurgeon
No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.
Charles Spurgeon
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
Charles Spurgeon
