God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And
when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so
weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both
your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs
of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Think about the first line because it speaks to who God is. God is not unkind to you and God never makes a mistake concerning you
regardless of what it looks like or how it feels. The sweetest prayers
sounds like some of my prayers lately sometimes I feel that I have no
hope in anything but God's love for me. In the third movie in The Lord
of the Rings, "The Return of the King" Elrond the Elf King comes to
Aragorn to bring him the sword that had been broken but had been
reforged, he tells him that the dead men that live in the mountain can
provide Aragorn with a great army and says "They will listen to the King
of Gondor" The last thing Elrond says is "I give hope to men" Aragorn
replies "I keep none for myself"
That's how I feel at times and why
this quote from Spurgeon really speaks to me, God hears the groans and
sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
