Quote for the Week
"
If, then, your path is marked with many trials, rejoice in it because your life will provide greater evidence of the all-sufficient grace of God. As for His failing you, don't even dream of it - hate the very thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
" - Charles Spurgeon
