Charles Spurgeon on Trials

“There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below.”

“As sure as ever God puts His children in the furnace, He will be in the furnace with them.”

“Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of; they just turn up some of the ill weeds on to the surface.”
