“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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
| The beams glow bright on the roads she must drive. Not a streetlight to be seen. The darkness has got me praying o'er this princess from my genes. The wind is howling. Through this rainstorm she must drive. Couldn’t keep her young, heaven knows I’ve tried. Don’t let her know, don’t let her see. Be the strong Dad you always have to be. Conceal, congeal, don’t let her grow. Well, now she’s grown. Let her go, let her go. Can’t hold her back anymore. Let her go, let her go. Turn and cry, but gentle the door. I must care what she’s going to say. Let her grow and grow for Christ is the Lord of her every way. It’s funny how some distance makes her childhood seem so small. And the fears that once were so large are dwarfed by fears so tall. It’s time to see what you can do. To test the limits, and break through. There’s right, there’s wrong, there’s rules for thee You’re free. Let her go, let her go You’ll be true to the Lord Above. Let her go, let her go. Your Joy is in His Love. In Him stand, and in Him stay. Let this life march on. Your power comes from Christ, and in Him to abound. Your soul is filling with Him in His Glory all around. And one thought bubbles up like freedom’s truest blast. You’re never going back, your sin is in the past. Let her go, let her go. She’ll rise like the risen Lord. Let her go, let her go. She’s perfect in His Word. Here she’ll stand in the Light of Day. Let her grow and grow for Christ is the Lord of her every way. by Jay O’Toole for my daughter, Jade Amber Jewel  on the advent of her first real driver's license. on July 28th, 2021 This poem was written on July 22, 2021. It is a reworking of the song, "Let It Go" from Disney's movie, Frozen. https://ohmy.disney.com/music/2013/11/25/let-it-go-lyrics/ These are the original lyrics to the song, which I reworked. It should be considered legal under the parody rule, but it is not intended as a farce by any stretch of the imagination. Use the melody of the song as a guide when you read my version of the concept. She passed her driver’s test, today, with flying colors. |
