A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

Yielding to God

The grounds of our yielding our dearest to God are such as these:

 

  • The supreme sovereignty of God, whereby he hath power to command us and all ours; and what he may command we must yield.

     

     

  • The right that God hath to all we have.

     

     

  • The might and power that God hath to take away all. Willingly to yield what he will have, is to make a virtue of necessity.

     

     

  • The due, which, in way of gratitude, we owe unto God.

     

     

  • The bounty of God, who can and will beyond comparison recompense whatsoever is given to him. None shall lose by giving to God.  [William Gouge]
