Pride keeping the Soul from Christ – Charles Spurgeon

DO not stand at the swine’s trough saying, “I will not arise and go to my Father, for I am not fit to go until I have suffered a great deal more;” but hear the voice which bids you say, “I will arise and go unto my Father, and what I have to say I will say unto him, and if I have to weep I will weep with my head in his bosom, while I receive the kisses of his love.” Come, poor sinner, do not set up your proud humility in the teeth of God; but, since he bids you look and live, oh! give up your prayers, and even your tears, and your repentings, and your convictions—have done with them all as grounds of confidence, and look to Jesus Christ, and to Jesus Christ alone.
