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

Lights
buried
in the shade
waiting to shine,
expressing bright hope.
Though not seen by many eyes,
seen by Eyes of wondrous size.
Expectantly dance
to give Him praise.
Shining now
before.
Lights.

Souls
listen
for the tunes
of that great day
when unseen we'll see.
Celebrations will be known.
Hearts once timid will be grown.
Anticipation
of heart's desire
warm coats to
cover
Souls.

Blest
to be
in the gates
of His Honor
there forevermore.
Sinful once, now clothed in Grace,
Never parting from His Place,
Joyful Savior.
By one choice
His own,
Blest

Joy
upon
His Birthday,
throughout the years,
always dancing glad.
Lights and music celebrate
shines in darkness, ever great,
temporal here.
Expectance
of all
Joy
