“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)    |
Do you think of what you've done, and wonder why you did it? Do you think you could have won, if you could just have hid it? Do you wonder why your thoughts so easily remember the sinful things you were not taught, but caught on fire as tinder? Do you wish to start, again, to do these things, never? Do you wish the pain would end for you have not been clever? He saved your life when you first came. He saves it ev'ry day, and will. Your life can never be the same. Your heart is blest, forgiven, thrilled. "I can't forget what I have done!" "I can't remember it at all." "I feel I've lost and never won!" "I saved you when my name you called." (John 6:37,44) "As far as the East is from the West, so far He moves our sins away." (Psalm 103:12, KJV) My future's evermore been blest. With Him in Christ, I'll ever stay. Forgiven, my new title fair, Forgiven, saved by Christ Alone, Forgiven life down here and there, Forgiven, hopes are blest and grown. "But I have messed up in my life." "My life redeemed your mess for aye." "How do I know it's gone, my strife?" "My Word's on it. Take what I say." The things we cannot e'er forget the Lord can never bring to mind. Emotion's default is our debt. Our debt, His Payment can ne'er find. The Accuser of our brethren taunts, "You're never good enough for Him." The Lord, He died for us and wants each heart with peace be filled to the brim. Forgiven: "Jesus works, and I do not." Forgiven: "Hope in Christ, and debt forgot." Forgiven: "Life forever from His tomb." Forgiven: "Saved by Grace, the Spirit's Womb." Forgiven: "Standing 'fore His Father Great." Forgiven: "Life in Christ, the perfect state." Forgiven: "All of Jesus, and none of me." Forgiven: "Evermore in Him we're free." by Jay O’Toole on January 19th, 2023 |
