God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.

God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.

Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
