Wisdom's Words: Growth

"It is a blessed mark of growth and spiritual infancy when we can forgo the joys which once appeared essential; and can find solace in him who denies them to us…If the Lord removes our dearest delight we bow to his will without a murmuring thought; in fact, we find a delight in giving up our delight.  This is no spontaneous fruit of nature, but a well-tended product of divine grace:  it grows out of humility and lowliness…" ~Charles Spurgeon
