"A smile from Jesus in the morning will be sunshine all the day." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"On the first of May in olden times, according to annual custom, many inhabitants of London went into the fields to bathe their faces with the early dew upon the grass under the idea that it would render them beautiful. Some writers call the custom superstitious; it may have been so, but this we know, that to bathe one’s face every morning in the dew of heaven by prayer and communion, is a sure way to obtain true beauty of life and character." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "The morning hour carries gold in its mouth." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "Early rising has the example of Old Testament saints to recommend it, and many modern saints having conscientiously practised it, have been loud in its praise. It is an economy of time, and an assistance to health, and thus it doubly lengthens life. Late rising is too often the token of indolence, and the cause of disorder throughout the whole day." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "The old proverb declares that they who would be rich must rise early; surely those who would be rich towards God must do so." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "A child of God should not leave his bedroom in the morning without being on good terms with his God." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "Our first word should be with our heavenly Father. It is good for the soul’s health to begin the day by taking a satisfying draught from the river of the water of life. Very much more depends upon beginnings than some men think. How you go to bed to-night may be determined by your getting up this morning. If you get out of bed on the wrong side, you may keep on the wrong side all the day. If your heart be right in the waking, it will be a help towards its being right till sleeping. Go not forth into a dry world till the morning dew lies on thy branch. Baptize thy heart in devotion ere thou wade into the stream of daily care. See not the face of man until thou hast first seen the face of God. Let thy first thoughts fly heavenward, and let thy first breathings be prayer." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

"Each day, though it bring its trouble, shall bring its help; and though you should live to outnumber the years of Methuselah, and though your needs should be as many as the sands of the seashore, yet shall God’s grace and mercy last through all your necessities, and you shall never know a real lack." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"Feed the sparrows and neglect the offspring of his loins—give crumbs to birds, and not feed his sons and daughters? You feel instinctively that the kind heart which remembers the fowls of heaven must yet more remember his own offspring." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "Christian, remember the all-sufficiency of thy God! Let that ancient name, 'El Shaddai'—God all sufficient, sound like music in thine ear—as some translate it, “The many-breasted God,” yielding from himself the sustenance of all his creatures." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon Christ’s prayer is, “Sanctify them through thy truth.” The more truth you believe, the more sanctified you will be. The operation of truth upon the mind is to separate a man from the world unto the service of God. Just in proportion as truth is given up, worldliness and frivolity are sure to prevail. ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
“Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” This saying ennobles the weary routine of earthly employments, and sheds a halo around the most humble occupations. ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"In what way can I bring my Lord most glory, and be of most service to His Church while I am here? Solve that question, and pass into the practical." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"How can a trial be met which is independent of divine rule, and outside of the sacred zone of providential government? It is hopeful when we find that all our ills lie within the ring-fence of omnipotent overruling." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
