Quote of the Day

"Oh how little do we aim at the glory of God and regard it in our prayers! We should seek it not only above the profits and pleasures of this life, but even above life itself. But alas, since the fall, we are corrupt and wholly poisoned with self-love, that we prefer every base interest and trifle before God...a word of disgrace, a little contempt cast upon our persons fills us with rage; but we can hear God's name dishonored, and not be moved about it...

The best of us, when we come to pray, what a deep sense we have of our own needs, and no desire of the glory of God...God did not make us for ourselves, but for His own glory."
