“Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.” 
― Charles H. Spurgeon

1. Hope: Christ always preached doctrine that was hopeful. While he denounced self-righteousness, he would turn round and say, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32). If he ever had a frown on his brow, it was for the hypocrite and the proud man. But he had tears for sinners and loving invitations for penitent ones.-- Charles Spurgeon --

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

C. S. Lewis

I've Never Been This Homesick Before [Live]

OUR LIPS!

Good morning my wonderful friends! Wishing you all a great Friday. I was laying in bed, having another pain filled and sleepless night when this word came into mind to ponder about. Lips, our two lips, how sometimes they flap up and down, blowing in the wind, they gossip, tell lies and curse and praise and start all over again. I think of how God created them not to curse but give thanks and praise and encourage others a long life's way, to say I forgive and I love you. Yes, as long as the two things move above my chin, let them give God praise and the thank yous to Him never end!
