Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be
likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may
with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ.(From Romans chapter 15, Bible Gateway and Thomas Nelson Verse of the Day)
When we give our hearts with our alms, we give well, but we must often plead to a failure in this respect. Not so our Master and our Lord. His favours are always performed with the love of his heart. He does not send to us the cold meat and the broken pieces from the table of his luxury, but he dips our morsel in his own dish, and seasons our provisions with the spices of his fragrant affections. When he puts the golden tokens of his grace into our palms, he accompanies the gift with such a warm pressure of our hand, that the manner of his giving is as precious as the boon itself. He will come into our houses upon his errands of kindness, and he will not act as some austere visitors do in the poor man's cottage, but he sits by our side, not despising our poverty, nor blaming our weakness.
-Charles Spurgeon
