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)

"For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.
"
(I Corinthians 13:12, KJV)


--------------------------------------


This life is just a grand facade
for all, that's really real.
The One Unseen is truly God.
His Hand doth daily heal.

This life on Earth is but a doll's house
compared to all, that exists.
We leave our parents to live with the spouse.
New life beyond the mist.

The latest iPhone is two cups
and string between them tied
compared to the lasting life of sups
in Christ, we will abide.

"Come further up, come further in!"
The joyful cries arise
for in the land, that knows not sin
the Lion is our prize.

"At Home at last! My country true!
Now, here I e'er belong.
This is the land. I'm finally through.
Ne'er knew I this great song.
"

"Of Narnia. Of England's isle."
"My country, 'tis of thee."
The former gone, I'll be a while,
throughout Eternity.

"Dear Lewis, I would see thy face,
but Jesus see I first.
Imagination is thy grace,
but The Savior is my thirst.
"

"Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
nor can the heart, yet, know
the things, which God bespoke His Word
to them, that love Him so.
"


--------------------------------------


"But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.
"
(I Corinthians 2:9, KJV)


--------------------------------------


I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
