If this reads as though you are coming into the middle of a conversation... well, you are... a conversation worth stepping in and lingering for a while... and maybe going back and trying to hear out the whole thing...
"... One other feature of this grace is is its all-sufficiency. It is the glory of grace that it meets every want of the sinner. If the sinner is dead, it gives him life; if he be filthy, it gives him washing; if he be naked, it gives him clothing. Is the sinner hungry? It feeds him. Is he thirsty? It gives him drink, Do the sinner's wants grow even larger after he becomes a saint, or has he a deeper apprehension of them? Then the supplies are just as deep as his necessity. Bottomless mines are the treasures of divine grace.
'Deep as our helpless miseries are, and boundless as our sins.'
You will never get to a point where grace will fail you--never come to an extremity where you will have to say 'Here, at last, the arm of grace is palsied, and I must look elsewhere for succor.' Oh, no, from this spot to the brink of Jordan and through the Jordan and up to the great white throne of judgment, and through the judgment, and until body and soul, remarried in a splendid marriage for eternity, shall sit down at the wedding feast above--till then there shall be no failures in grace, nor shall we ever have to think of it as otherwise than all-sufficient."
-Charles Hadden Spurgeon-
Read the entire thing here (well... scroll down to page 110 to find this exact quote...)
I woke up believing this morning. And for that keeping... I'm so thankful.
