Nearing the horizon

From my quiet time today. Beautiful, encouraging words from Look Unto Me...

"If he's an active Christian, he will have much work to do here on earth, not too much for his will, but more than enough for his strength. So he will cry out, "I'm not weary of the work- I'm weary in it." O Christian, the long hot days of weariness will not last forever. The sun is nearing the horizon and will rise again on a brighter day than you have ever seen and upon a land where you will serve God day and night- yet with true rest from your labor. Rest on earth is incomplete, but there it is perfect. Here a Christian always feels unsettled as though he has not yet attained. But there, all are at rest, have attained the summit of the mountain, and have ascended to the sweet embrace of their God. They can go no higher."
Charles Spurgeon
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
Rested, rejuvinated and excited for the new week!

For some reason, at least in my life, it always seems darker right before the dawn...I hope for you, sweet friend, that the dawn is right around the corner for you! :)
