Jerry Bridges Quote

Preach the Gospel to yourself every day.

From Lamentations 3:21-22:  “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:  The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Jerry Bridges (1929-2016) was an American Christian author and speaker.  In his autobiography, God Took Me by the Hand, Jerry said, “When I was seventeen years old, it seemed as if God took me by the hand and said, ‘Come with Me.’  And for more than sixty-five years, God has, as it were, continued to hold my hand and lead me in the path He has marked out for me.”
