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) |
A mirror shows a face, that once was childlike, filled with play, but now the face, it has a hunch, that time is on display. A mirror shows me how I look upon the outside, now, but all the days to here it took are missed, and so's the how. A mirror must be clear to show the places I need work. It has no wisdom, nor can know the ways I strive or shirk. The Mirror shows me why I'm lost before the Holy God, Who sent His Son to pay my cost, to change me, and be awed. The Mirror cannot save my soul, unless He bids me come. (John 6:44) But when He bids, I am made whole by Life, His lasting Son. The Mirror of His Holy Word transforms me by The Breath of He, Who is the living Lord, Who conquered final Death. The Mirror makes a blest, new man, who lives in Him, Who wrote The Final Word, Salvation's Plan, and wears the new, white coat. by Jay OโToole on April 25th, 2023 |
