Psalms 116:12
What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?
God’s love for me is immense. He sacrificed His only begotten Son so I could be saved.
Jesus endured great suffering, shed His blood, and died on the cross for me, triumphing over sin, death, and the devil that I might have abundant life and have it to the full. The Holy Spirit calls me through the gospel of Christ and nurtures me in the faith. I am redeemed, loved, and sanctified by God. And not only that, but this same God supplies all my daily need in Christ Jesus.
How then do I treat Him in return?
I fear that sometimes I treat Him as if He were a beggar, and I offer Him the least of all that I have or turn away from Him altogether. At times I think I treat Him as if He were an employee to me; reprimanding Him for not meeting my expectations and demands, even dismissing Him when I don't require His help. But in truth He is my boss, my benefactor, and without Christ, I have nothing and can do nothing. So, I will reciprocate by giving Him my heart, my time, my means, my life, my all.
