““You may not have all you could wish for, but you still have more than you deserve. Your circumstances are not what they might be, but they are still not as bad as the conditions others find themselves in. Your unbelief makes you forget that if poverty weighs you down you still have your health. And if both health and financial security have vanished, you are still a child of God and your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.””

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
