Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything. They dwell more on what they have gone through than on what God has done for them. But a Christian whose soul is in a healthy state will come forward joyously and say, "Let me tell you what the Lord has done in my life."

It is true that we endure trials, but it is just as true that we are delivered out of them. It is true that we have sins that we are sorry for, but we also have an all-sufficient Savior who overcomes these sins and keeps us out of their power. It would be wrong to deny that we have problems. But it would be just as wrong to forget that we come through our problems, thanks to our Almighty Helper.

Charles Spurgeon
