Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

God is a God of equity. He will exact according to what 
a man has, not according to what he has not. He will not 
look for figs or grapes where He has only given common 
herbs. He will not expect pounds where He has only given 
pence—talents where He has only given mites. If we have 
little—limited and restricted means and opportunities—let 
us remember it is because He has withheld more. If the 
golden prize has eluded our grasp, it is because He saw 
we would be better without it. His gifts and benefactions 
are many and diversified. Let it be our endeavour to be 
"good stewards" to the extent of our responsibilities.
