“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 first man, Adam, was in bliss. He had his love for life. For Eve she was the one to kiss, when made to be his wife. His life was lonely ere she came! The animals had mates. Enjoyed they love in hearts the same. As one connected, great! The Lord created all of this, and left the man alone To make him thirst for his first kiss, to hunger for his own. So, when t'was right, God knew that sleep was easiest to take a rib from Adam, love so deep to share the life they'd make. For ever after wooing love this first man knew the truth. Romance is fully ribbings of the fairer sex of youth. This Adam was a lonely man. His missing rib became his wondrous wife by God's great Plan, with hearts, that beat the same. Their sporting love brought Able, Cain, and great Humanity. Forbidden fruit they would disdain when Sin lost liberty. At first we see this loving bent. It's fully in the bone. A rib from Adam he has "lent." Now he's no more alone. Let's think about this for a while. This question of romance "Is there a need to learn a style with just one face to glance?" This begs the question for each soul, "Is love by chance or choice?" Can love, the tool, assuage the hole to make each heart rejoice? For Adam called his wife a gift. Is less or more the truth? He could not make his heart to lift without this friendly youth. In innocence their life was pure. Full blessing one to both. This love through all their life was sure. Showed through the ages growth. by Jay O’Toole on August 13th, 2021 |
