Women of Faith to be Admired
Have you ever paused to reflect on the fascinating lives of these remarkable Christian figures from history and their families? What challenges did they face in their daily lives, and what victories, however small, inspired them to put pen to paper and share their stories with the world, that we often quote or see on memes?
Susannah Spurgeon married Charles Spurgeon, a well-known Baptist preacher in the mid-1800s.
Susannah was a devoted partner in her husband’s ministry. Spurgeon often called for her assistance on Saturday afternoons to prepare for Sunday sermons. They discussed Scripture and read commentaries together. Susannah also counseled women and girls in the church and helped with baptismal services.
Even in the face of illness and years as an invalid, Mrs. Spurgeon exemplified unwavering faith in the Lord and His divine plan. She served diligently in her home and church, embodying a joy-filled life grounded in God's word and devoted to good works. She wrote several devotional books, including Free Grace and Dying Love, which I would love to read!
These devoted Christian servants of the past, who demonstrated unwavering commitment and loyalty, can still touch our hearts and inspire us today. Their unwavering resolve and selfless actions remind us of the profound values of dedication to God and service.
God Bless you, Susannah Spurgeon, and Thank You for your service!
What a testimony she had! I would like to read that book too.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to check my local library if not I think it’s a keeper book to have!
DeleteI had no idea!!
ReplyDeleteWe neither until I saw a meme and looked her up.
DeleteCertainly, an admiral woman and disciple of Christ, Debby. Thanks so much for sharing her words here today. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI believe today with so many women of questionable character we all need a role model - I know I like to read about those women who kept the faith and never wavered.
DeleteI never heard of Ms. Spurgeon until now. Her faith reminds me of that wonderful song, "Praise you in this Storm." Thank you so much for introducing us to Susannah.
ReplyDeleteShe obviously was a humble woman, not interested in seeking recognition. I admire women like her.
DeleteThank you for sharing. I didn’t know.

Me neither
DeleteI'm with the other commenters, I never have heard any thing about Mrs. Spurgeon and her gift of writing. I think I would like to read that devotion of hers too.

She was humble - not self seeking. Something we rarely see these days
DeleteThanks Debby for your well wishes. I think we are on the mend. its hard when both of us feel lousy at the same time. We haven't gotten any covid shots either. I remain quiet about that..too many opinions.
DeleteI really have slept good the last two nights and it felt wonderful.

Charles was an excellent teacher but behind the scenes was his devoted and loving wife. Together they ministered to many. Her more humble quiet spirit speaks loudly of her Christ-like character.
DeleteSuch a great testimony.
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about her.
DeleteDebby, these quotes brought a tear to my eye, and thank you for sharing them. Also, for telling us a little about this wonderful woman. Isn't that something what she said when she was ready to pass. She sounds like such an inspiring woman we can learn from.

Same here. I got a lump in my throat and felt a closeness to her.
DeleteYes it was amazing what she said on her deathbed - Wow!
What a beautiful post and a beautiful soul. I can only hope that I can someday touch lives in the way that of Susannah Spurgeon did. A woman so deeply committed to her faith and a huge supporter of her husband. Her testament of her strength found in her faith is remarkable.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing woman, never heard of her till now, those quotes are so moving
ReplyDeleteSo many great women of all faiths. It would probably take us years to discover all of them. Amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
