Gifts, Small—Valued by God – Charles Spurgeon

ON our birthdays our little children love to give their father something, if it is only a bunch of flowers out of the garden, or a fourpenny piece with a hole in it; they like to do it to show their love; and wise parents will be sure to let their children do such things for them. So is it with our great Father in Heaven. What are our Sunday-school teachings and our preachings, and all that, but these cracked fourpenny pieces? Just nothing at all; but the Lord allows us to do his work for his own love’s sake. His love to us finds a sweetness in our love to him. I am most thankful that in the church there is room for such a variety of ministries.
