You would think that all the happiness you ever knew
before was less than nothing compared with the joy of saving a soul from death,
and rescuing a sinner from going down into the pit. The bliss of speaking a word
that should affect three worlds, making a change in heaven, and earth, and hell,
as devils grind their teeth in wrath because one of their victims is snatched
out of their jaws; as men on earth wonder and admire the change that grace has
wrought; and as angels rejoice when they hear of sinners saved.”

Charles H. Spurgeon, “Prince of Preachers”
