The Practice of Praise QUOTES

1 " He gives like a king — no, He gives as only God can give. Behold, your God has not only given you a few minted coins of gold, but He has endowed you with the mines themselves. He has not, as it were, handed you a cup of cold water, but He has brought you to the flowing fountain and given the well itself to you. God Himself is ours: “The Lord is my portion, saith my soul” (Lamentations 3:24).

If you must have a little list of what He has given you, ponder the following: He has given you a name and a place among His people. He has given the rights and nature of His sons. He has given you the complete forgiveness of all your sins, and you have it now. He has given you a robe of righteousness that you are wearing now. He has given you a superlative loveliness in Christ Jesus. He has given you access to Him and acceptance at the mercy seat. He has given you this world and worlds to come. He has given you all that He has. He has given you His own Son, and how shall He now refuse you anything? Oh, He has given as only God could. "
