The refining process

SPURGEON BIRTHDAY BOOK
for September 6

We are not far from being purged from our dross when we are perfectly willing to undergo any refining process which Divine wisdom may appoint us.

Self and sin have a great affinity, and till our selfishness is taken away our sin will not leave us; but when we can truly pray, "Not as I will, but as Thou wilt," then have we lost much of our alloy, and are ready to receive the image of the great King.

[From the original Spurgeon Birthday Book published by Passmore & Alabaster, London.]
