Title: God's gifts and our walk
Post by: Frank T on May 01, 2014, 11:42:17 pm: “I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves one above the other and that the taller we grew in Christian character, the more easily we should reach them. I find now that God's gifts are on shelves one beneath the other and that is not a question of growing taller, but of stooping lower and that we have to go down, always down to get His best ones.”
― F.B. Meyer

Well said! Just like salvation, a gift is a gift this is not something that you work for. But again just like salvation, some people accept the gifts and some turn away from them.
