Today I just want to share a short quote by Charles Spurgeon.
I’m not going through the easiest period of my life currently. When I read books on the Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross himself, or by later writers like Gerald G. May, I suspect that I might be experiencing what they describe there.
This quote by Charles Spurgeon from one of his sermons helps me cope:
“Though the harrow go over and over thy soul, and the deep plough cut into thy very heart; though thou be maimed and wounded, and left for dead, yet if the Spirit of God do it, it is a blessing indeed.”
Can I know for certain that I am suffering due to God working in my life? No. Can I hope so? Yes. And that’s the only choice I have.
