When Queen Victoria reigned in England, she occasionally would visit some of the humble cottages of her subjects.
One time she entered the home of a widow and stayed to enjoy a brief period of Christian fellowship.
Later on, the poor woman was taunted by her worldly neighbors. "Granny," they said, "who's the most honored guest you've ever entertained in your home?" They expected her to say it was Jesus, for despite their constant ridicule of her Christian witness, they recognized her deep spirituality.
But to their surprise she answered, "The most honored guest I've entertained is Her Majesty the Queen." "Did you say the Queen? Ah, we caught you this time? How about this Jesus you're always talking about? Isn't He your most honored guest?"
Her answer was definite and scriptural, "No, indeed! He's not a guest. HE LIVES HERE!"
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one." John 10:27
He was a beloved pastor and a man of compassionate action. He loved God, felt the love of God and daily gave the love of God. And so no one was surprised when one day Bishop Ralph Cushman wrote:
I met God in the morning
When my day was at its best.
And His presence came like Sunrise
Like a glory in my breast.
All day long the Presence lingered,
All day long He stayed with me,
And we sailed in perfect calmness
O’er a very troubled sea.
So I think I know the secret,
Learned from many a troubled way;
You must seek Him in the morning
If you want Him through the day!
Ways to come closer to your God.
1. Memorize and sing to yourself often "Nearer my God to Thee." The thoughts you plant along the avenues of your mind shape the kind of person you daily become and are becoming.
2. Say grace at meals. It's a habit not so often practiced as once it was...and that the shame of it.
3. Pray often...rather than at foxhole moments...the admonition should not even have to be mentioned...but it is true that getting out of the habit of prayer is far too easy.
Spurgeon's "boiler-room."
Five young college students were spending a Sunday in London, so they went to hear the famed C.H. Spurgeon preach.
While waiting for the doors to open, the students were greeted by a man who asked, "Gentlemen, let me show you around. Would you like to see the heating plant of this church?" They were not particularly interested, for it was a hot day in July.
But they didn't want to offend the stranger, so they consented. The young men were taken down a stairway, a door was quietly opened, and their guide whispered, "This is our heating plant."
Surprised, the students saw 700 people bowed in prayer, seeking a blessing on the service that was soon to begin in the auditorium above.
Softly closing the door, the gentleman then introduced himself. It was none other than ethe great evangelist Charles Spurgeon
To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; To seek Him, the greatest adventure; To find him, the greatest human achievement.
