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 others live in their own way,
affecting how you'd live,
just hold what God, the Lord did say
to find the Hope He gives.

When others cause your deepest dreams
to leave the pedestal
to make your life much less it seems.
The future's now regrettable,
but not what God redeems.

When others call your faith a sham,
deny the God you serve,
remember He's the Great I Am.
Our praise He fully deserves.

When others leave the proven truths
carved by the fathers' hands,
indulging all the wants of youth,
rejecting what was planned,

find comfort in the lasting words
of One, Who walked below
to live the perfect life we've heard,
and save the day we know,

assured we are that others will
know the pain of each selfish heart,
but what a hope and lasting thrill
when others trust His new start.

When others finally bend the knee
to He, Who changes all,
rejoice we will so wondrous free
as those, who on Him call.
