"The smallest drop of God's mercy, is more than we deserve."

"The least mercy is not to be despised, for it is a gift from God's hand."

 

Charles Spurgeon:
"Let us praise God for common mercies, for they prove to be uncommonly precious, when once they are taken away! The common joys of this life which God blesses us with, ought to make us increase in gratitude, and ought to be a sufficient motive for the very highest form of consecration!"
