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

When the day fades to its dusk,
when the night the sky it fills,
when the back feels sharpest tusk,
needed hope relieves these chills.

When the light can't bring its peace,
when the dark is full of doubt,
when the silence is release
need we hope to stand about.

When the words in the past, were great,
when laud was once our dearest friend,
when writing served up every plate
great hope was there us to attend.

When days to come were newer goals,
when youthful legs would run the roads,
when ideas were bright and bold
then hope was blest in every mode.

The day will fade when the light is gone.
The night brings rest, and hope to come.
The new by God is bless-ed drawn.
The beat is heard by The Day's new drum.

In grief, we slump through sadness known.
No longer can we see the face,
but better is our life now grown
through time we spent in friendship's grace.

When the day fades, life is o'er,
but hope in God relieves some pain.
Eternal is the bless-ed store.
Lasting Day is ever gain.
