page 92, Charity and its Fruits, Jonathan Edwards

Do you think the injuries you have received from your fellow-man

are more than you have offered to God?

Has your enemy been more base,

more unreasonable, more ungrateful, than you have to the High and Holy One?

Have his offences been more heinous or aggravated,

or more in number, than yours has been against your Creator, Benefactor, and Redeemer?

Have they been more provoking and exasperating

than your sinful conduct has been to him who is the author of all our mercies,

and to whom you are under the highest obligations?

When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs "Who are the men who are most discontented? but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything." (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper. How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...
