From The Mourner's Comforter
|
|
"The Lord himself breaks in upon the mourner's misery, and makes the
most gracious arrangements for his consolation. When a man is in sore
trouble, he naturally begins to look this way and that way for
deliverance; thereby, much of the man's mind and heart are made
manifest... but the child of God runs to his Father, and expects
consolation only from the Lord's hand."

From Not All Roads Lead Home
|
|
"'...We have been on a fool's errand then,' said John, 'ever since we left the main road.'"(from The Pilgrim's Regress by C.S. Lewis)
"C.S. Lewis's autobiography convinced me that God could cause faith to thrive."
"We were learning to guard our marriage against the dangerous weight of 'important' things that can so insidiously push priorities off track."

CAR LIFE - "There are those of us who cannot find our way
out of a paper bag when it comes to directions; in this modern world we
should probably be referred to as the 'geographically challenged' or the
'destination impaired.' Whatever you want to call us, we ain't gonna get
there in time."

From Seeking
God's Face
|
|
"The place where I live in France has been for generations a market
gardening town. Often...I rise early to seek God's face and commune with him during an early morning walk...
Wherever you live, whether in a small village, or in the country, or in a bustling city...
Make time in your busy days; find your own quite place--and pray!"
|
|
From Only Believe
|
|
"I gradually became aware of his voice and of what he was saying. He had
been repeating over and over again, 'Don't look at the bamboo; look at me.' ...I thought afterwards, how often
do we focus on the difficulties and dangers of life rather than on the Lord?...'fix our eyes on Jesus.'"

FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE
Heavy heart, this book is meant for you. He who sends forth this
volume
knows the heart of a mourner by a kindred experience, and is most
anxious to be a “son of consolation” to the sorrowing. This little
volume is meant to scare the night-raven, of which Milton tells us
that
it sits “where brooding darkness spreads his jealous wings.” Most
men
know it as Religious Melancholy, but we call it by the older and
more
scriptural name of Mourning in Zion....
To meet the sadness of the heart we have taken a prescription, not
from
Galen or Hippocrates, but from the great gospel prophet, Isaiah; and
its one and only ingredient is Christ Jesus Himself, who is anointed
to
comfort the distressed in heart, and fulfills His office by giving
Himself to them to meet all their needs. The sermons that make up
this
book are full of Christ Jesus, the consolation of Israel; and if, in
any degree, they cheer the desponding, it will be entirely due to
Him,
their object and their theme. He is to mourning hearts—
Sweet as refreshing dews or summer showers
To the long parching thirst of drooping flowers.
No heart, however broken, needs any balm but Jesus to work its
perfect
cure. Sorrows, which like Noah’s flood drown all, are soon assuaged
by
a word from His lips. Get Him and keep Him, O bruised and bleeding
heart, and you are healed. For broken hearts the broken-hearted
Savior
died, and for them He lives and pleads. Look to Him, mourner, and
the
black horror of despair shall end.
Yours heartily,
C. H. Spurgeon
