Oh, To Be a Heavy Ship...

"I hope that from our youth we have known the necessity of dependence upon God, but I am certain that dependence is a growing feeling. Growing Christians think themselves nothing; full-grown Christians think themselves less than nothing. Good men are like ships; the fuller they are, the lower they sink in the stream. The more grace a man has, the more he complains of his want of grace. Grace is not a kind of food which creates a sense of fullness. . . the more you receive the more you long for."

~ Charles Spurgeon, "The Old Man's Sermon"
