 APRIL 7 Contentment with God's Gifts |
PRAYER. Most blessed Father, may I always be content with the wonderful gifts You give me. |
|
WHEN Christians have but a little, they are thankful.
They gladly pick up the crumbs from under the table.
Give them much, they soon forget it is much.
Without denying in words their own unworthiness, they have a certain secret over-regard for themselves. At least they act as if they thought that the Christian privileges belonged to them over others by a sort of fitness. |
