Weariness Cured by Looking to Christ – Charles Spurgeon

IF you are getting weary in the battle of life and tired of serving God, “Behold the Lamb of God!” wrestling unto blood, and your courage will return. Reaper in the summer’s heat, see him as he grasps the sickle with that pierced hand! What strides he makes, how untiringly he labors until his bloody sweat falls on the ground. Up and do your reaping too, working at his side. Builder in the house of God, if you see not the temple rising as you could desire, lay not down your trowel or your mallet, but see the master-builder standing there with indefatigable perseverance following out his glorious design. Let not self-denial or self-sacrifice be hard when the Lamb of God is before you. Let not perseverance be difficult, or shame, or scorn be hard to endure, or defeat, or death itself, be impossible to triumph in, when the Lamb of God is before you. He conquered upon Golgotha, perhaps you will only conquer there. Only keep your eye upon the Lamb of God and this will make you strong to do and to endure.
