Great Heights Are Always Opposite Great Depths – Samuel Brengle

Oh the rapture mingled with reverential, holy fear — for it is a rapturous, yet divinely fearful thing — to be indwelt by the Holy Ghost, to be a temple of the Living God! Great heights are always opposite great depths, and from the heights of this blessed experience many have plunged into the dark depths of fanaticism.

‎What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive ever! Here is a constellation of wonders; and when I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, I am in a maze of wondering worshiping affection!

– Charles Spurgeon –
