We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
โThere are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .โ โ Charles Spurgeon โOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ โ C. H. Spurgeon โHope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.โ โ Charles Haddon Spurgeon โIf sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โA Bible thatโs falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโt.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ โ Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
We want to believe, that who we are is who we're supposed to be, but socializing is such a jar when others are unimpressed "with me." We want to believe, we matter a bunch, but something is terribly wrong when labels are "salted" 'cause I have a hunch, that others just don't like "my song." We want to believe, the Bible is true. It IS true, believe it or not. It's verses are best for both me and you. Let's listen to what may be forgot. "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly." The Lord Himself knows how much I have tried, but these friendly efforts have been quite upended when others not knowing they're friendly, decried. So, who are disabled among human souls? The ones, who reach out so hard to befriend? Or those, so locked into their own minds as whole refuse all the others, whom they ought to tend? ------------------------------------------- Proverbs 18:24, KJV, โA man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.โ ----------------------------------------------- by Jay OโToole on August 19th, 2025 ![]() |
