“There 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 “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope 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 “If 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 “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
What's it like to win a game you have no right to win? What's it like to serve the Lord with nothing left to give? What's it like to know the past, and know the future's good? What's it like to be redeemed when nothing says you could? What's it like to face the sea with soldiers at your back? What's it like to have no food, but never have a lack? What's it like to know your job is coming to an end, but see it's just as it should be with no more days to tend? A parent's job is honorable. We teach, and step aside. We watch the infant, now adult, with loving, godly pride. A parent's life is best described as "giving 'til the gift becomes a giver of their own, that HIStory does lift." "Unnecessary" is the goal, but is it really that? Is there no more, that I can do? The thought just falls quite flat. The daily task of propping up, and helping her to be will soon be done as new day shows responsibility. What's it like to cheer her on, and be here left behind? What's it like to see the plan, so honorable and kind? It's like Creation He did launch to bless His dear loved ones. He started what He always keeps, and daily loves His sons. by Jay O’Toole on March 15th, 2022 |
