Great devotional and prayer.

I would like to share some lines from a devotional book called "THE VALLEY OF VISION" A collection of puritan prayers and Devotions.  On page 4 line 16-28; re-print 2007.  As you and serve the Lord, we understand more and more that it is the work that God is doing in us that allows us to see lives changed, and that blessed hope of life eternal.  Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (KJV)

"What shall I give thee for all thy benefits?

I am in a strait betwixt two, Knowing not what to do;

I long to make some return, but have nothing to offer,

and can only rejoice that  thou doest all,

that none in heaven or on earth shares thy honour;

I can of myself do nothing to glorify thy blessed name,

but I can through grace cheerfully surrender soul and body to thee,

I know that thou art the author and finisher of faith,

that the whole work of redemption is thine alone,

that every good work or thought found in me is the effect of thy power and grace,

that thy sole motive in working in me to will and to do is for thy good pleasure."
