The
boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a
delightful inheritance. - Psalm 16:6
Artist:
Jed Gibbons
"God, in His promises to hear our prayers, is desirous to bestow
Himself upon us; if you find anything better than Him, ask it; but if you ask
anything beneath Him, you put an affront upon Him, and hurt yourself by
preferring to Him a creature which He framed: Pray in the spirit and sentiment
of love, in which the royal prophet said to Him, 'Thou, O Lord, are my portion.'
Let others choose to themselves portions among creatures, for my
part, You are my portion, You alone I have chosen for my whole
inheritance."

"He who would climb to a lofty height
must go by steps, not leaps."
