We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
“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) |
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (I Corinthians 13:12, KJV) -------------------------------------------------------- "For now we see through windows, dark, but then quite face to face. Right now I know an info's quark, but then I'll know the place." Today, I question, if I'm seen, and if you hear my voice. I may not know what I have been, nor if it's right, my choice. I wonder much among the souls, who live with me on Earth. Communication hath such holes, and questions 'bout one's worth. But when we fin'lly see the Lord in Presence ever Known, we're safe within His living Word with Grace, which ne'er is flown. To live with Him as sons we're known in blest adoption, rare. His loving wife, His flesh and bone, we're cherished past all care. We're known for all we're made to be. We're known, and loved, and blest. We're known as chosen ones by He, Who conquered ev'ry test. We're known forever in His Eyes. We're known within His Heart. We're kept, and known past plaintiff cries, acquitted on His Part. by Jay O’Toole on March 10th, 2022 |
