 God Has Given Us All Things, and as We Return All to Him, He Perfects Us and Is Glorified Through Us ㅡ

“Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36) 

The greatest praise that men can bring to God is to become consecrated channels through whom He can work. Time is rapidly passing into eternity. Let us not keep back from God that which is His own. Let us not refuse Him that which, though it cannot be given with merit, cannot be denied without ruin. He asks for a whole heart; give it to Him; it is His, both by creation and by redemption. He asks for your intellect; give it to Him; it is His. He asks for your money; give it to Him; it is His. “Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price.” 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. God requires the homage of a sanctified soul, which has prepared itself, by the exercise of the faith that works by love, to serve Him. He holds up before us the highest ideal, even perfection. He asks us to be absolutely and completely for Him in this world as He is for us in the presence of God. 

(The Acts of the Apostles 566.1)
