I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord,
and the praises of the Lord,
according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us.
Isaiah 63:7
"Q: And canst thou not do this?
Q: Are there no mercies which thou hast experienced? 
Q: What though thou art gloomy now, canst thou forget that blessed hour when Jesus met thee, and said, "Come unto Me"?
Q: Canst thou not remember that rapturous moment when He snapped thy fetters, dashed thy chains to the earth, and said, "I came to break thy bonds and set thee free"?
Q: Or if the love of thine espousals be forgotten, there must surely be some precious milestone along the road of life not quite grown over with moss, on which thou canst read a happy memorial of His mercy towards thee?
Arise, go to the river of thine experience,
and pull up a few bulrushes,
and plait them into an ark,
wherein thine infant-faith may float safely on the stream.
Forget not what thy God has done for thee; turn over the book of thy remembrance, and consider the days of old.
---Go back, then, a little way to the choice mercies of yesterday, and though all may be dark now, light up the lamps of the past, they shall glitter through the darkness, and thou shalt trust in the Lord till the day break and the shadows flee away."
Charles Spurgeon
