Charles Spurgeon (How did you come to be a Christian?)

"The thought struck me, How did you come to be a Christian? I sought the Lord, But how did you come to seek the Lord? The truth flashed across my mind in a moment--I should not have sought him unless there had been some precious influence in my mind to make me seek him. I prayed, thought I, but then I asked myself, How came I to pray? I was induced to pray by reading Scriptures. How came I to read the Scriptures? I did read them, but what led me to do so? Then, in a moment, I saw that God was at the bottom of it all, and that he was the Author of my faith, and so the whole doctrine of grace opened up to me, and from that doctrine I have not departed to this day, and I desire to make this my constant confession, "I ascribe my change wholly to God." - Charles Spurgeon
