One day Spurgeon was preaching in Edinburgh, and after he’d finished, a military officer came up and shook his hand, and the military officer (this is back in the 1800s, soon after the Crimean War) came up and said to him, “For twenty years, I’ve served Her Majesty, but as for today, I’m enlisted in the army of the King of Kings.” And Spurgeon said, as this officer walked away, “There was a man who had not turned his back in the day of battle, and was no longer turning his back on the King of Kings.”
It’s a very wonderful thing to put yourself into the hands of Jesus Christ, and to begin a new life, with new resources, and not be ashamed or overcome or overwhelmed, because He will carry you through.
