Not a spare corner of the heart of God
Ray Ortlund Blog | July 18, 2012
"Oh, you are not dealing with trifles when you are dealing with the love of God to you. It is not a spare corner of the heart of God that He gives to you, as you may give a little love to the criminals in the jails, but the great, inconceivably vast heart of God belongs as much to every Christian as if there were not another being in the world for God to love! Even as Jehovah loves His Only-begotten, so does He love each one of His children."
C. H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of the Old Testament (London, n.d.), III:568.

This quote really struck a chord with me today, and it definitely helped to lift my spirits. Thank you so much for posting it! It's been a rough week, and I needed this reminder that God's love for me (and all of His children) is eternal. I always look forward to reading the various quotes you post—keep up the good work!
