How Much Owest Thou My Lord?

"How Much Owest Thou My Lord?"—There are many wealthy persons who bask in God's sunshine and breathe God's air, yet who show no gratitude by giving for the needy spiritually or physically. The poor woman who gave five cents a week was told that a well-to-do brother had offered to relieve her from what was seemingly a burden. But her eyes filled with tears, and she declared that in view of God's goodness she found giving to His cause her chiefest delight. Gratitude in words only, will inevitably harden the heart. Gratitude in deeds enlarges and purifies.
