FREE WILL

"God does not force us to praise Him;
His glory is not diminished by our ignoring Him and remain in our persistent preoccupations.
Instead, we are diminished in our refusal to acknowledge, constantly, His awesome glory.
The skies are grayer, the challenges more daunting, the frustrations more grating each day we forget His dazzling splendor.
In the early quiet, express to Him your wonder at His magnificent greatness, His tender mercy, His boundless love, and see for yourself if His glory is surely somehow reflected in your praise." msj
