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) |
When hearts are warmed between two lives, we give our best as joys do grow. Our days are full as living thrives, and common paths we're blest to know. The One, Who gave us life at the first through hearts, that beat, and lungs, that breathe is still The One, Who quenches thirst. He keeps our way by Hands beneath. "I love you, dearest wife of mine. You've stayed with me for many days. Like vintage of the finest wine, your value grows, and the years do praise." The Lord has given love to Man to knit our hearts in one with Him. He knits two hearts in one by His Plan to fill their cup, o'erflow the brim. This Valentine's we seek The Rose, Who showed His Love by bleeding red. The third day after, He arose to cause lost souls no more be dead. When hearts aflame do burn as one, the golden life is purified. Each day of sweetness 'til all's done is wondrous as His lasting Bride. Each chosen heart receives His Grace, Salvation Love transformed within. For Jesus Christ in our lost place has saved His chosen ones from sin. by Jay OโToole on February 14th, 2023 |
