“There are moments when the eyes glisten with joy: and we
can say: ‘We are persuaded, confident, certain.’ I do not wish to distress
anyone who is under doubt. Often gloomy doubts will prevail; there are seasons
when you fear you have not been called, when you doubt your interest in Christ.
Ah! what a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but
His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but
His grasp of yours, that saves you. The Lord’s promise once given is never
recalled.”
C. H. Spurgeon (Day by
Day p. 62)
