John Newton Quote

I found this quote yesterday and thought it was amazing. I just wanted to share it with everyone.
"I saw what indeed I knew before, but never til then so strongly and clearly perceived, that, as a sinner, I had no right, and as a believer, I could have to reason, to complain.  Farther, that his sovereignty was connected with infinite wisdom and goodness, and that, consequently, if it were possible for me to alter any part of his plan, I could only spoil it; that such a short-sighted creature as I, so blind to the possible consequences of my own wishes, was not only unworthy, but unable, to choose well for himself; and that it was therefore my great mercy and privilege, that the Lord condescended to choose for me."

--John Newton
