Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                                       Heavenly Alchemy

                                                      "Your sorrow will be turned into joy."
                                                                                          ~ John 16:20

  "The more sorrow, the more joy. If we have loads of sorrow, then the Lord's power will turn them into tons of joy. The bitterer the trouble, the sweeter the pleasure. The swinging of the pendulum far to the left will cause it to go farther to the right. The remembrance of the grief shall heighten the flavor of the delight.
  Come, my heart, cheer up! In a little while I shall be as glad as I am now gloomy. Jesus tells me that by a heavenly alchemy, my sorrow shall be turned into joy. I do not see how it is to be, but I believe it, and I begin to sing by way of anticipation. This depression of spirit is not far long; I shall soon be up among the happy ones who praise the Lord day and night, and there I shall sing of the mercy that delivered me out of great afflictions." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

    Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us from all of our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, foever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
