Hello Gerardo! I am glad you found Charles Spurgeon’s devotional insightful. It is wonderful to reflect on God’s grace and how He continues to bestow more of it upon us.

It is a powerful reminder of our Lord’s generosity. What drives you to seek that abundance of grace in your spiritual life? Blessings!
