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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
Instead of bringing love so near, this COVID makes it deadly clear, his arrow is unearthly fear, since good is not his goal. The 14 of the fam'ly trait is dual-pronged with limping gait. When it is known, it's now too late to make its contacts whole. "Febrero is my cousin's home, but since then o'er the world I roam to make your cases quite a tome, until I've had my 'fun'!" "You say my 'fun' is not at all? But virus has no moral call. Your woes are thoughts in me quite small. I'll show you when I'm done." "All demigods of earthly fame are easy for the Truth to tame. No more can you bring lasting blame to human tools you used." "My name is God, Who is most High. You've sung your final lullaby o'er those, who languor and still cry, of you they're quite abused." "Begone, and never come, again," may say Christ, the Lord, the sinner's Friend. "All hearts repentant, I'll now mend, and cause your shadow cease." "For Christ, the Lord is ris'n today, Hallelujah!" I'll ever say. "Come quick to aid us! Own the day! Please, give us soon release!" by Jay O'Toole on April 19th, 2020 |
