"Often we think about our salvation experience as one of being lost before we are found. And that is true. But I also think that even though we may be found, sooner or later we'll turn down a side street looking for a shortcut, finding ourselves lost again. Just because our salvation is intact doesn't mean we always know where we're going. No matter how lost you feel, it's not too late. You can still get to where God destined you to go. He's waiting to find you no matter how often you lose your way. My story is not always pretty, but I think you'll agree that parts of it are beautiful. The parts where God finds me and reminds me who I am. The moments when He sees me as His daughter on a divine collision course with my destiny. The same way He sees you."-Sarah Jakes (Lost And Found)

"I no longer need to be perfect. I know that I'm growing and developing at the rate that's right for me. I know that my God is the essence of all that comes into my life in all ways. I have come to believe that I'm not only a Precious child- but a Divine child. I no longer fear that I was created to be tortured and punished. I have discovered that I was created out of the beauty and splendor of the universe. I am a beautiful and sparkling soul. I am deeply grateful to God. I am grateful to be that which God intended- Precious and Free". - Jenny .C (Co-dependent Anonymous)
"Mind what you are doing, you prosperous people, you who have nice homes, you who are investing your money in the funds. There is nothing permanent for you here. Your home is in heaven, your home is not here, and if you find your treasure here, your heart will be here also; but it must not be so. You must keep all earthly treasures out of your heart; let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart."-Charles Spurgeon

"Christ has carried your heaviest burdens. He has averted the most terrible disaster that could ever happen to you; the most terrifying calamity you once dreaded can never harm you. You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. You will have have all you really need in this life, and you will have heaven when this life is over. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have all united to bless you; and the covenant of peace is signed and sealed and approved, and you will conquer in the end. So, let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."- Charles Spurgeon
“It is important that you maintain your communion with
Christ, for that is the only way of keeping yourself clear from corruption. And
you who have much to do in the church must keep up your communion with Christ,
for that is the only way of keeping your service from becoming mechanical and
of preventing you from doing good works as a mere matter of routine. You, too,
who have much to suffer or even much to enjoy must keep up this Holy Communion,
or else your soul will soon be like a thirsty land where there is no water.”-
Charles Spurgeon
“However weak we are, however poor, however little our
faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His
heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus’ love. Oh, poor sinner, do not be
doubtful of my Master’s power. Do but touch the hem of His garment, and you
shall be made whole. Like the poor woman in the crowd, get at it and touch it,
and He will surely say unto you, ‘You are saved.’ If you will go to Him with
this cry, ‘I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, and Jesus Christ is my all in
all’ then you will see the blessed reason why Jesus interceded thus: ‘I pray
not that thou shouldest take them out of the world.’”- Charles Spurgeon
“Believer, if your inheritance is a lowly one, you should be
satisfied with your earthly portion, for you may rest assured that it is the
fittest for you. Unerring wisdom ordained your lot and selected for you the
safest and best condition. It may be that you are planted where you get but
little, you are put there by the loving Husbandman because only in that
situation will you bring forth fruit unto perfection. Had any other condition
been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put
you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances. Take up
your own daily cross; it is the burden best suited for your shoulder and will
prove most effective to make you perfect in every good work and work to the glory
of God.”- Charles Spurgeon
“If you have to change your position in life, if you have to
emigrate to distant shores, if it should happen that you are cast into poverty
or uplifted suddenly into a more responsible position than the one you now
occupy, if you are thrown among strangers or cast among foes, tremble not, for ‘the
Lord shall guide thee continually.’ There are no dilemmas out of which you
shall not be delivered if you live near to God. He goes not amiss who goes in
the company of God. You have infallible wisdom to direct you, immutable love to
comfort you, and eternal power to defend you.”-Charles Spurgeon
“Is your heart heavy?
God knew it would be; the comfort that your heart wants is treasured in the
sweet assurance of the text. You are poor and needy, but He has thought of you
and has the exact blessing you require in store for you. Plead the promise,
believe it, and obtain its fulfillment.
Do you feel that you never were so consciously vile as you are now?
Behold, the crimson fountain is open still with all its former efficacy, to
wash your sin away. Never shall you come to a position that Christ cannot aid
you. No pinch shall ever arrive in your spiritual affairs in which Jesus Christ
shall not be equal to the emergency, for your history has all been foreknown
and provided for in Jesus.”- Charles Spurgeon
“Your prayers are all filed in heaven; and if not immediately
answered, they are certainly not forgotten, but in a little while shall be
fulfilled to your delight and satisfaction. Let not despair make you silent,
but continue constantly in earnest supplication.”-Charles Spurgeon
“Rouse yourself from
your low condition! Cast away your sloth, your lethargy, your coldness, or
whatever interferes with your chaste and pure love for Christ. Make Him the
source, the center, and the circumference of all your soul’s range of
delight. What charms you into such folly
as to remain in a pit when you may sit on a throne? Rest no longer satisfied
with your dwarfish attainments, but press forward to the things more sublime
and heavenly. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven!
Nearer to God!”- Charles Spurgeon
“It is goodness that He has prepared for the poor in heart,
goodness and goodness only.”- Charles Spurgeon
