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 (Philippians 2:13, KJV) https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon |
The Lord give you hearts so in tune with His Word. (Philippians 2:13) Your love may He knit in the warp and the woof. (Ephesians 5:21) Your marriage the creation, that He calls quite good. (Genesis 1:26-31) May peace be the air, that flows under your roof. (John 20:21, KJV) The Lord give you souls for the Harvest Above. (Matthew 28:18-20) The Lord make you father and mother in love. (Ruth 4:11) The Lord give you sons to be strong when you age. (Psalm 127:3-5) The Lord give you daughters to fill every page. (Psalm 127:3-5) His Wisdom is great in the hearts of the blest. His Presence will be with you in every test. His Hope make you rest in His Arms through your days. His Joy fill your lives with great laughter and praise. The Lord mete out your irritations, that each grain of sand may be a pearl, and as you travel throughout the nations may The Lord reach through you to every man, woman, boy and girl. May Love be vertical, that the commitment between you both and God be mutual. May Love be horizontal, that the commitment between you both be everlasting. May you both grow closer to the Lord, and in so doing grow closer to each other.
