From today’s reading in Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening: Christians know that an ounce of contentment is more valuable than a ton of gold. The person wearing a threadbare coat over a good conscience has found a spiritual treasure far more desirable than any he may have lost. God’s smile and a dungeon are enough for [...]

All my sins have been forgiven;
God is merciful to me;
Faith has claimed the Savior’s promise,
Grace and pardon, full and free;
O my soul, be ever praising
For the great Redeemer’s love;
Joyous songs to Him be raising,
Unto God in heav’n above.
My account is closed forever;
Jesus Christ has paid it all;
Shed His blood my sin to cover,
Paid the price [...]

This song has been running through my mind during the past few days. May I ever thank our eternal God with my heart and hands and voice.
Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on [...]

I discovered more stanzas of the hymn I posted on Sunday.
Holy God, we praise Thy Name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy scepter claim,
All in Heaven above adore Thee;
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet [...]

Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark, the loud celestial hymn

Lo! the apostolic train
Join Thy sacred name [...]

As I begin my day today, this thought runs through my mind this morning and amazes me: whatever I do has the potential of bringing glory to God. I can bring glory to God Almighty! Not only can, but will, if all that I do is a wholehearted response to the grace he has lavished [...]

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord!
’Tis thy Savior, hear His Word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
“Say, poor, sinner, lovest thou Me?”
“I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
“Can a woman’s tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I [...]
