Never forget!

*****************************

"O believer, learn to reject pride, 

seeing that you have no ground for it.

Whatever you are, 

you have nothing to make you proud.

The more you have, 

the more you are in debt to God;

and you should not be proud 

of that which renders you a debtor.

Consider your origin,

 look back to what you were.

.Consider what you would have been but for divine grace.

Look upon yourself as you are now.....

Doesn't your conscience reproach you?

Don't your thousand wanderings stand before you, 

and tell you that you are unworthy to be called

 His son or daughter?

And if He has made you anything,

aren't you taught thereby that it is grace 

which has made you to differ?

O you who are valiant for truth,

you would have been as valiant for error 

if grace had not laid hold upon you.

Therefore, don't be proud, 

though you have a large estate...

a wide domain of grace.

Once you did not have a single thing to call your own

 except your sin and your misery.

Oh! strange infatuation,

 that you, who have borrowed everything, 

should think of exalting yourself."

Charles Spurgeon
