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

As midnight comes we close the day
of tasks to do and words to say.
We cherish dreams through restful hours
of flying clouds and shady bowers.

As midnight comes we hope for peace,
reduction of this Woe's increase.
We pray for healthy days' return,
and kindness in these days have learned.

As midnight comes engulfed by dark,
"Oh, Lord, cause fear to disembark
and turn this ship to a better course.
Sustain us with Your great Resource.
"

As midnight comes the new we see
to leave the past our way to free.
Prepare us for Eternity,
that Your great Glory grows.

"As midnight comes, Lord, make us new.
Please, daily fit us more for You,
that when this life is finally through
Your Joy in us we'll know.
"

As midnight comes great Hope is found.
Your Light in darkness doth abound.
Your children can't be held in the ground,
our freedom's always near.

As midnight comes we close the day.
Our deeds are done in Your Call obeyed.
Our hearts are full, on You they're stayed,
the One we hold so dear.
