A benevolent person gave Mr. Rowland Hill a hundred pounds to dispense to a poor minister a bit at a time, thinking it was too much to send to him all at once, Mr. Hill forwarded five pounds with only these words in the envelope, "More to follow." In a few days time, the good man received another letter; this second messenger contained another five pounds with the same motto, "And more to follow." A day or two after came a third and a fourth, and still the same promise, "And more to follow." Till the whole sum had been received, the astonished minister was familiar with the cheering words, "And more to follow." Every blessing that comes from God is sent with the same message, "And more to follow." "I forgive you your sins, but there's more to follow." "I justify you in the righteousness of Christ, but there's more to follow." "I adopt you into my family, but there's more to follow." "I educated you for heaven, but there's more to follow." "I give you grace upon grace, but there's more to follow." "I have helped you even to old age, but there's more to follow." "I will uphold you in the hour of death, and when you land in the world to come, there shall still be more to follow." Charles H. Spurgeon |
