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) |
The script is precious for the play with words and actions there, but when it's lost e'en for a day the heart is filled with care. "O, where'd it go?" We toss and turn to think our script now home, but when it's o'er great new we'll learn before new paths we roam. The script could be in the practice room, and safe 'til next we meet. Embarrassed we, but it no doom. New start will be most sweet. The script could be in the parking lot. Another soul could find, and keep it safe, until the spot, where giving's wondrous kind. The script could be quite lost, unfound, and we would have to pay the price to restore with heart unbound, and live another day. One thing's for sure the script's somewhere, and college students know, they've each misplaced a book, felt care, and lived anew to grow. Yet, losing something that's not yours is a heavy responsibility. With someone's help, we'll find the cure and learn a new ability. by Jay OโToole on August 24th, 2022 |
