What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive ever! Here is a constellation of wonders; and when I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, I am in a maze of wondering worshiping affection!
– Charles Spurgeon –
Oh what a Jesus!

There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
– GK Chesterton –
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
– GK Chesterton –
Thankfulness is a flower which will never bloom well except upon a root of deep humility.
– JC Ryle –
God gives us a million and one things and all we can think and pray about is that ONE he hasn’t given us … man is a MISERABLY selfish creature.
– Zac Poonen –
The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc.; but how few acknowledge these as God’s special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.
– Martin Luther –
from Table Talks
If anyone would tell you the surest, shortest way to all happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself, to thank God for every thing that happens to you.
– William Law –
from A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life
The first great characteristic of the true Christian is always a sense of thankfulness and gratitude to God.
