We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
β€œThere 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. . . .”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.”
― C. H. Spurgeon


β€œHope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon


β€œIf 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.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œA Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.”
― Charles Spurgeon

His Face is like the sun in space.
His Heart is liquid Joy.
His Justice burns up all disgrace.
He's pure without alloy.

(Psalm 91:1-4)
The feathers of His covering wings
enclose His little child.
His Voice, a harp, that daily sings,
His Hands, so wondrous mild.

The rough-hewn cross upon His Back
He wore to pay my debt.
The monster cave no torturous lack
could His Blest Rising let.

(Romans 10:9-10; John 6:37,44)
The ring of His Salvation's oath
is worn forevermore
upon the finger, each day's growth
of the Bride His Call implored.

Secured by stalwart giant reach,
redeemed by saving hands,
thus kept by He, Whose Voice doth teach
His daily Master Plan.
