Hope for a Seeker

The Lord may hide his face for a season from his people, but he never has
utterly, finally, really, or angrily forsaken them that seek him. Let the poor
seekers draw comfort from this fact, and let the finders rejoice yet more
exceedingly, for what must be the Lord's faithfulness to those who find if he is
so gracious to those who seek.

"O hope of every contrite
heart,

O joy of all themeek,

those who fall how kind thou art,

How good to those who seek.

"But what to those who find, ah, this

Nor tongue nor pen can show

The love of Jesus what it is,

None but his loved ones know."

Charles H. Spurgeon
