There is one thing about God’s Word which shows its responsiveness to us, and that is, when you reveal your heart to it, it reveals its heart to you. If, as you read the Word, you say, “O blessed truth, thou art indeed realized in my experience; come thou still further into my heart; I give up my prejudices, I assign myself, like the wax, to be stamped with thy seal;”—when you do that, and open your heart to Scripture, Scripture will open its heart to you; for it has secrets which it does not tell to the casual reader, it has precious things of the everlasting hills which can only be discovered by miners who know how to dig and open the secret places, and penetrate great veins of everlasting riches.

C. H. Spurgeon
