Beautiful Truth

"Indeed, none of us has anything we have not been given. Even if in service to God I lose my life and pour out all my blood, yet at my beginning He gave me every drop, and still I have given Him nothing and owe Him all. Existence itself, every loving word, every sunrise, every blossom, every star - and beyond and before all, the blood of Christ that sets me free from the fear of Hell to enjoy all - all these are from Him. I can only praise and thank Him, never repay Him."

Amen! I totally agree, we can never pay Him. Only praise and thank Him which seems so little!
