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) |
The treasure found within a field full worth, a lifetime's gold. "I must have that for future yield," the finder's heart then told. He found the owner, bought it quick, with hidden gemstone in the thick. Transaction ever bold is worth the losses it has healed. The life of Man is but a Day. He lives within a dash. The treasures keep his full display, reducing worth to cash. The wise ones see, that worth's enlarged by holding stock in Christ so charged. When dies the living flash redeem-ed heart lives full for aye. To glimpse unseen reveals the real for body's sight is less than all the vision God doth seal for those whom He would bless. The spirit realm holds priceless gem once purchased by the Blood of Him. Enjoin your heart caress the One with Whom we have to deal. Salvation's hope will cost you naught. Salvation's Lord has paid the price to find the one He's sought, arose from where was laid. The priceless gem was in Christ's eyes. Each long-lost sheep made ease despise. His Father's Love obeyed to bring Him dear ones duly bought. by Jay O'Toole on November 14th, 2019 |
