-Jeremiah 1:5
I came across the below quote from Charles Spurgeon earlier this evening and found it very humbling. And even though I generally share my own thoughts on the topics I choose to write about, I don’t think I would ever be able to put it in words more beautiful than these:
“I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him; and I am sure He chose me before I was born, or else He never would have chosen me afterwards; and He must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why He should have looked upon me with special love.”*
-C.H. Spurgeon.

Hello Brother,
My name is Donna. I am so happy that you stopped by my blog the other day. It is nice to meet you. I love meeting my CHRIST family, it is awesome!!!
It is refreshing to meet young people who really love the LORD! I love your blog too, and I will be stopping by often. I have been blogging off and on lately due to health issues, but I do hope to blog more and more.
I love to tell others of JESUS' love, and my desire is to see souls saved.
May GOD continue to bless your efforts to reach souls as well. GOD bless you my brother.
Your sister in CHRIST,
Donna
Wow. Thanks for posting. I found that very humbling and convicting.
That's fine with me, Alyssa! And since I'm not the author of the work, you don't have to link back to me.
Doesn't get any more succint than that!
