The Beauty of Repentance

I love the way Spurgeon paints a picture with his words, speaking so vividly of the character of Christ and the nature of living as a Christian. I thought I would share two more quotes of his…

‘In the same way, when the soul has been saturated with the rain of penitence, the clear shining of forgiving love makes the flowers blossom all around.’

‘Even as certain fabrics need to be dampened before they will absorb the bright colours which they are to be dyed, so our spirits need the rain of repentance before they can receive the radiant colouring of delight’

Indeed, doesn’t a garden always look more beautiful after the rain has fallen on it?
