Withholding From God

“What is more foolish or more sinful than withholding from God that which is His due? So long as we do not surrender entirely to Him, He can not bless us. The smallest chain of the heart shut against His sovereignty shuts the doors of blessing against us. It is vain to expect peculiar mercies from God so long as we have not yielded to Him the last talent, the last impulse. Even our withholding of gold from God may withhold His glory from us. When shall we learn that we can never cheat God? We only cheat ourselves. God repays a thousandfold for all that we give Him.”
