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)

Communication is quite hard
as everybody knows.
The words we use from sweep to bard
are rarely the same. It shows.

The theory of the ways we talk
are based upon the mind.
The dictionaries there we stock
can conversations blind.

Communication can we smooth
by learning what is known
between two hearts, accepted truth,
then speaking well is shown.

The dictionaries of a land
are standard, sterile, cold,
but friendly words must all be planned
before we know what's told.

The hearts of males and females cry
to be seen as we are.
Our differences, that make us sigh
can be close or yet quite far.

'Tis grace, that oils our words each day.
It helps us kindness show
for different thoughts are on display
through words, our ears don't know.

Communication's softest touch
tries hard to common find
the words, that others know so much
are offered from us kind.
