C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

Friday June 6, 2025

"Behold, I am vile."-Job 40:4

    One cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because YOU are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say "I am vile," oh, poor sinner, wilt thou be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate all sin from the believer, how dost thou hope to do it thyself? and if God loves His people while they are yet vile, dost thou think thy vileness will prevent His loving thee? Believe on Jesus, thou outcast of the world's society! Jesus calls thee, and such as thou art.

    "Not the righteous, not the righteous;
    Sinners, Jesus came to call."

    Even now say, "Thou hast died for sinners; I am a sinner, Lord Jesus, sprinkle Thy blood on me"; if thou wilt confess thy sin thou shalt find pardon. If, now, with all thy heart, thou wilt say, "I am vile, wash me," thou shalt be washed now. If the Holy Spirit shall enable thee from thy heart to cry

    Just as I am, without one plea
    But that Thy blood was shed for me,
    And that thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I come!"

    thou shalt rise from reading this morning's portion with all thy sins pardoned; and though thou didst wake this morning with every sin that man hath ever committed on thy head, thou shalt rest to-night accepted in the Beloved; though once degraded with the rags of sin, thou shalt be adorned with a robe of righteousness, and appear white as the angels are. For "now," mark it, "Now is the accepted time." If thou "believest on Him who justifieth the ungodly thou art saved." Oh! may the Holy Spirit give thee saving faith in Him who receives the vilest.

tying Saga continues....

Feb. and Jan. came and went and still didn't get it completed. It is getting done slowly but surely. So March brings in another month with the goal of getting it completed. I must say I'm further along today than I was at the start of the year. Visit here for all the links to this quilts progress stages.

Great quilt. You sew the same as me. I am a very slow sewer. That is ok. Sewing is to be enjoyed. It is not a race. If it stresses you out, don't sew.

What a great looking quilt. Personally I think each quilt has its own timeline, you've just got to do what you can, you'll get there!
