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

gentle through the woods
babbling rocks and wondrous green

The little gem she glistens bright
from day to day and night to night,
awaiting purchase by the one,
who'll take her home as a treasure won.

"Young man, you'll buy this little gem
for a bride, whose 'one' will soon be 'them.'
"This gem's been cherished in my heart,
held close and shined right from the start."

"My thoughts are sad, that this release
will be my loss, but your increase.
"Please, value this a jewel rare
to make her now your daily care."

"The price is your devoted soul
to hold her dear like priceless gold,
"for always in my treasure trove
I'll keep the mem'ries of her love."

My precious daughter, gem so choice
with wondrous spirit, soothing voice
will be one Christian man's consort
'til Heaven calls to their final port.

The little gem, my cherished gift
to Christ my daily prayers be lift.
One day a king will take her hand
to bless her life by Sovereign Plan.

Two hearts created this lone gem
from love of honor just for Him.
He placed this gem within our hearts.
From there she never, ever parts.

"We see, that you are nearly grown
as childhood has been nearly sown.
"With chops we salivate the thought,
that you are new and could be taught."

"Your parents hold belief as dear.
That's one thing we know crystal clear.
"Yet, when you part their home for us,
we'll try to throw them 'neath the bus."

"You're young with many ways to go.
Your parents' lives are 'This we know,'
"but shouldn't you test the waters new,
before deciding what is true?"

"The sweetest notes of every day
are how to eat and work and play.
"There's plenty time to the future seek
when youth is gone and years are bleak.
"Enjoy the day without this thought,
your belly full in pleasures bought."

"Who cares what your parents taught before.
You're older now, with so much in store.
"Old fogies need not cramp your style.
Just stay with us and play awhile."

"We see your mind is filled with school,
you'd complete your college to be cool.
"It's true some good can come of that,
but that's not really where it's at.
"Just eat, be merry, enjoy your life.
'Much learning makes you mad' in strife."

"You have some cash, we heard you say.
That makes us happy for today.
"Tomorrow the sun may burn us off
before our chapeau we've a chance to doff."

"You'll cry, but we don't really care.
There'll be fresher fish we need to share.
"But 'Hey!' your folks are right outside.
That's if you don't still need your pride."

Wide-eyed faces, sweetly beaming,
What wonders fill their ev'ry day!
Great hope is dancing on display!
Age relents in life redeeming.

Ancient mind it wanders dreaming
throughout the life of youthful play
Wide-eyed faces, sweetly beaming,
What wonders fill their ev'ry day!

Rueful thoughts of youth not gleaming,
his weighted middle on display.
His hope renewed from heart to pray
Heaven's portals young hearts teaming
Wide-eyed faces, sweetly beaming.

A lasting friendship, cherished, precious gift
requires the care of china on display.
Neglect will push it past the breaking point.

We share so many words, that daily lift
our hearts to hope throughout each coming day
these seasoned words our lives to bless, anoint.

The early days of fervor rarely drift.
Connection's strong, together come what may,
but suddenly a difference of viewpoint.

Foundation's crack has come by little shift.
They're mystified, and have not much to say.
The reason's same of which they both pinpoint.

A thoughtless slip of tongue was lightly spoke
as now the friendship lays in pieces, broke.

built for shade and writing books
