Companionship of Jesus – Charles Spurgeon

IF Jesus Christ be your companion, you may walk unharmed through Vanity Fair; and if your path should lie through it, you need not care for all the fools that pluck at your garment. Through a shower of mud it is safe and blessed traveling if Jesus be our companion. I hope you are not one of those who would choose to walk with him in silver slippers, but who would leave him if he came in poverty and shame! If so, you do not know the love of Jesus at all. Through briars and thorns lies the path of love; and yet that thorny road is paradise if Jesus do but tread it with us, and permit us to lean upon his arm. The more severe the troubles of life become, the higher shall your comforts rise if Jesus be with you. Tried soul, rest in Jesus! Only cast yourself on him, confide entirely in him, and you shall find that the peace which he gives you none can take from you.
