I am with you always...

Every once in a while someone posts an amazing quote on my church's e-group and this morning there was one such quote, written by Charles Spurgeon. Enjoy!

"I am with you alway."
-- Matthew 28:20

It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us.
It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of
life. O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten,
decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides for ever
faithful to thee. Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of a
deceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amid
descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure. My
soul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet;
store thy jewels where thou canst never lose them. Put thine all in
Christ; set all thine affections on his person, all thy hope in his
merit, all thy trust in his efficacious blood, all thy joy in his
presence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction.
Remember that all the flowers in the world's garden fade by turns, and
the day cometh when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth.
Death's black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle. Oh! how sweet
to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon roll
between thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to him who will
never leave thee; trust thyself with him who will go with thee through
the black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land thee
safely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with him in heavenly
places for ever. Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets to
the Friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Trust all thy concerns
with him who never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee,
and who will never let thee leave him, even "Jesus Christ, the same
yesterday, and to-day, and for ever." "Lo, I am with you alway," is
enough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me.
