“If you pour a pail full of water on the floor of your house, it makes a great show, but if you throw it into the sea, there is no sign of it. So, afflictions considered in themselves, we think are very great, but let them be considered with the sea of god’s mercies we enjoy, and then they are not so much, they are nothing in comparison.”—Jeremiah Burroughs (as shared by Steve Laube)

I heard this from Dr. David Jeremiah, and it was too good not to share. "The reasonableness of fully surrendering our lives to God: He is all-wise, and He knows better than anyone else what is best for my life. He is almighty, and He has the power to accomplish that which is best for me. He loves me more than anyone else in the world loves me. Conclusion: the most logical thing a Christian can do is to surrender his life completely to God." -- from a speech by Lewis Sperry Ch
