We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
โ€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. . . .โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ€
โ€• C. H. Spurgeon


โ€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.โ€
โ€• Charles Haddon Spurgeon


โ€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.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œA Bible thatโ€™s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโ€™t.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon

The jobs are many on this Earth
throughout our lives to death from birth,
and often they don't show our worth
to those who see our days.

But God sees all we do and say,
the joy we bring, the things we pray.
He sees each heart, that dares obey
without a "Thank you," now.

Dear Weary Heart, God's Person, blest,
is with you through each daily test
to make your life e'en here the best
with "meals" for your own soul.

In search of times to live in peace,
His Presence is a great release
to make those darkened words to cease
just lean upon His Chest.

Each peaceful moment in Him find.
He loves you most. He's truly kind.
His "Wait" is smelting, never blind.
You're 'graved upon His Hand.

The peaceful moments you may seek
are in the One, Who came so meek.
"Shalom. Be still," His Words they speak
to calm the troubled soul.

A peaceful moment may not be
from ev'ry trouble fully free,
but greatest hope is aye in He,
Who rules the lasting Day.

Each peaceful moment starts beneath
the Cross of Him, Who did bequeath
Salvation's Gift by smashing teeth
of Death's own chilly mouth.

In search of peace, we find the day,
that Jesus rose in great display
to rest the ones, who say Him, "Yay!"
forever in His Hands.

These moments ever become one
because of Christ, the Father's Son,
Who came to save through all He'd done.
My name is written down.
