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
(Philippians 2:13, KJV)

Paul lost his sight before his way was shown.
The rest of his life for his writing was known.
Christ's Church through his writings, now greatly has grown,
but once he was selfish old Saul.

Patrick lived a bondage day,
a slave in Ireland, so they say,
until God changed his heart and way.
his Lord of life-giving call.

In Freedom miles and years then changed.
The days he walked God rearranged.
He taught of Christ, Who sins exchanged
for a life of lasting bliss.

He helped his Irish friends receive
New Life in Christ, His Word believe.
Their hearts be knit to Him and cleave,
Success defined as this.

We all have days, that seem as loss.
The good we do can't mount the cost.
We wonder at our heavy cross.
Can God be pleased with us?

But He, Who weaves the tapestry
will bring success His child to free,
and when He's through full liberty
will banish night and dusk.

Success He gives to all, who hear
Salvation's Call within heart's ear.
These days of life are ever clear
in Time and evermore.

Our "Yes!" today receives His Gift
the defeat of His cross He used to lift
the blame of Sin on Him to shift
for He is God's Great door.
(John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10,13)
