 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)    |
A tender heart's not born that way. It is the gift of God. To live and love each gentle day is through one truly awed. "A new heart I will give to you. New spirit in you I will put. I'll take the stony heart. It's through, so marred by dirt and caked in soot. "I'll give to you a heart of flesh. My Spirit I will put within, and cause your walk in me be fresh. My judgments you shall do, not sin." (Ezekiel 36:26-27, AKJV, in iambic meter) I'm tender when I'm breakable. My tenderness sees other's needs. With gentleness unshakable I bandage hurts, each wound, that bleeds. A stony heart sees mirrored eyes. It looks out "just for me!" But God's been calling from the skies. Just listen and you I'll free. Each life upon this stony Rock is worthy of tenderness. Because we're made of Adam's stock, God chooses us to bless. Salvation is of God each part. He stops me cold to change my core. Exchange makes new my imbittered heart. Puts life within, where none was before. by Jay O'Toole on April 27th, 2020 |
