If, Therefore, A Man Will

God Smiles When We Praise And Thank Him Continually. Few Things Feel Better Than Receiving Heartfelt Praise And Appreciation From Someone Else. God Loves It, Too. An Amazing Thing Happens When We Offer Praise And Thanksgiving To God. When We Give God Enjoyment, Our Own Hearts Are Filled With Joy.

Receive Every Day As A Resurrection From Death, As A New Enjoyment Of Life; Meet Every Rising Sun With Such Sentiments Of God's Goodness, As If You Had Seen It, And All Things, New-created Upon Your Account: And Under The Sense Of So Great A Blessing, Let Your Joyful Heart Praise And Magnify So Good And Glorious A Creator.

We Have All Of Us Free Access To All That Is Great, And Good, And Happy, And Carry Within Ourselves A Key To All The Treasures That Heaven Has To Bestow Upon Us. We Starve In The Midst Of Plenty, Groan Under Infirmities, With The Remedy In Our Own Hand; Live And Die Without Knowing And Feeling Anything Of The One Only God, Whilst We Have It In Our Power To Know And Enjoy It In As Great A Reality As We Know And Feel The Power Of This World Over Us; For Heaven Is As Near To Our Souls As This World Is To Our Bodies; And We Are Created, We Are Redeemed, To Have Our Conversation In It.

As A Good Christian Should Consider Every Place As Holy, Because God Is There, So He Should Look Upon Every Part Of His Life As A Matter Of Holiness, Because It Is Offered Unto God. The Profession Of A Clergyman Is A Holy Profession, Because It Is A Ministration In Holy Things, An Attendance At The Alter. But Worldly Business Is To Be Made Holy Unto The Lord, By Being Done As A Service Unto Him, And In Conformity To His Divine Will.

If Contempt Of The World And Heavenly Affection Is A Necessary Temper Of Christians, It Is Necessary That This Temper Appear In The Whole Course Of Their Lives, In Their Manner Of Using The World, Because It Can Have No Place Anywhere Else.
