Darkness Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
““We need clouds and darkness to exercise our faith; to cut off reliance on self, and make us put more faith in Christ. Our walk should be less in what we see and experience. We should trust less in our efforts and feelings. I repeat this for the comfort of those who are suffering spiritual depression; the best of God’s children have their nights.””
