Digging for Diamonds


One of the main goals of this blog is to expose readers to some of the spiritual giants of the past through their writings. Many Christians have heard the names of Spurgeon or Moody or Murray bandied about, but how many have actually read them? Quite frankly, there are many gems waiting to be unearthed from some of the foundational books of the past. Here is one for today from A. W. Tozer that summarizes what we are trying to do here.

Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they had found Him the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.

from The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer


In your journey today in the Lord may you also mourn and pray and wrestle and seek, because as difficult as the process may be the reward of a closer walk with Him is more than worth it.
