Gratitude to the Savior
PRAYER.

Jesus my Savior, I am ashamed that I have returned so little of Your love. Give me the strength to make amends.

THE Son of God came down from heaven, put aside His glory, and submitted to be despised, cruelly treated, and put to death by His own creatures-by those whom He had made and whom He had preserved.

Is it reasonable that so great an event should not move us? Does it not stand to reason that we must be in a very irreligious state of mind unless we have some little love, some little awe, some little repentance, in consequence of what He hat done and suffered for us?
