Could my tears..

"God is not impressed if we are deeply moved over Jesus' torment. Unbelievers are moved to tears watching The Passion Of the Christ. "Could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone." He is impressed with whether or not we believe in the gospel Jesus preached. It is true that God the Son suffered more than we will ever know. And it is right to pray for softer hearts and a more profound grasp of what Jesus endured to save us. But as we survey the wondrous cross today, remember that in our worship God will not be looking for tears, he will be looking for trust." - Jon Bloom

Strength to Strength

"Those with anxious spirits trouble themselves about the future. “Oh!” they say, “we seem to go from affliction to affliction.” Very true, O you of little faith; but don’t forget that you also go from strength to strength. You will never find a bundle of affliction that doesn’t have God’s sufficient grace at the very center." - Spurgeon

No sunset years

There are no sunset years. "The path of the righteous is like the dawn; It shines brighter until the full day." (Pro. 4:18) - John Piper

I've been thinking about this quote today. It's pretty profound and worth pondering on. I like it very much.
