Nature’s Garden

Holiness is a flower that grows not in Nature’s garden.  Men are not born with holiness in their hearts, as they are born with tongues in their mouths: holiness is a divine offspring: it is a pearl of great price, that is to be found in no nature but a renewed nature, in no bosom but a sanctified bosom. – Thomas Brooks, Puritan

The Aroma of Coffee and of Praising God

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils. – Henry Ward Beecher

Such an interesting observation.  Now I know there are a few people who do not like coffee and therefore cannot quite relate but for the majority of us as we think on the wonderful fact related to us let us also ponder a spiritual parallel.  When we offer our sacrifice of praise it is an aroma that is more pleasing to God than the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee in the morning is to us.  

Now that is biblical.  It is said in a slightly different fashion in Scripture but God is thrilled by our little demonstrations of genuine love for Him.  He actually looks forward to fellowship with us.
