“It is the wonder of angels that the love of Jesus should be set upon poor, lost,
guilty men. Each believer must, when filled with a sense of Jesus’ love, also be
overwhelmed with astonishment that such love should be lavished on an object so 
utterly unworthy of it.

Knowing as we do our secret guiltiness, unfaithfulness, and halfheartedness, we 
are dissolved in grateful admiration for the matchless freeness and sovereignty 
of grace. Jesus must have found the cause of His love in His own heart; He could
not have found it in us, for it is not there.

Even since our conversion we have been poor, though grace has made us rich. Most
tender and faithful Husband of our souls, pursue Your gracious work of conforming
us to Your image, until You will present even us in our poverty to Yourself without
spot or wrinkle or any such thing.”

–Charles H. Spurgeon, [_Morning and Evening_](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1433598663?tag=toletaupanre-20),
ed. Alistair Begg (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2007), 294.
