O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the United Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit?

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
About This Quote

O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the United Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit? This quote is a reference to an early Christian teaching that was used to evoke humility. The idea was that God is so powerful that He could create everything else in existence with His power. Therefore, no matter what you are doing, God is doing something great.
