Happy Birthday, Charles Spurgeon! Here are his last ever words in the pulpit:

[Henri Nouwen (1932–1996) @nofearinlove77]

“When we envy, we forget who we are. Our true identity is not found in comparison but in being beloved children of God, uniquely created and fully loved.”

— Life of the Beloved

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

books are amazing because a stranger from 200 years ago can still ruin your afternoon emotionally.

[Mary Karam @MaryKaram]

“For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.”

[Mary Karam @MaryKaram]

“at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

A weak faith can still lay hold on a strong Christ.

“... five barley loaves and two fish, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆?”

“Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.”

“Because we love something else more than this world we love even this world better than those who know no other.”

- C.S. Lewis, "Some Thoughts"

[Mark Chironna @markchironna]

Brother Lawrence washed dishes in a Carmelite kitchen for thirty years and called the work the practice of the presence of God. The kitchen became an altar. The dishes became a liturgy. What looks from the outside like routine work is from the inside the saturation of ordinary tasks with prayer over decades. The deepest contemplatives are rarely behind cloister walls. They are at the workbench, at the keyboard, at the cooking pot, attending to what is in front of them as if it were the face of God.

"ليس سواك،
أحببتني للمنتهى
أنت يسوع
من مثلك؟
نفسي تعلقت بك
أنت يسوع..."

“‘Do dreams come true?’ he asked.

‘Some of mine do,’ said the old man. ‘Some, but not all, and seldom any of them straight away, or quite like they were in dreaming them.’”

- Tolkien, Roverandom

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

reading ecclesiastes in the bible is such a humbling experience because the whole book basically keeps reminding you that most of the things we stress about don’t actually matter the way we think they do.

There is no constraint to Christ's love, only to our willingness to receive. If our souls were a thousand times larger, still there is an ocean of comfort in him far beyond our capacity.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

God's presence is not the same as the feeling of God's presence.

And he may be doing most for us when we think He is doing least.

-C. S. Lewis, 1954 letter (and a recurrent theme throughout all three volumes of his collected letters)

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The resurrection means everything sad is going to eventually come untrue and it will somehow be greater for once being broken and lost.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

Could saints but see what fruit their troubles bring
Amid those troubles they would shout and sing

And hath shed His own blood for my soul..."

[Mary Karam @MaryKaram]

“'Cause I don't wanna build this life
On Babylons of bricks and pride...
Sitting on a fault line bound to quake

I'd rather be a bedrock fool
Who trusts in nothing less than You
When every other sure thing surely fails...”
