A Christian heart makes over his will to God: now then if God’s will is satisfied, then I am satisfied… That is the excellence of grace… for he says, ‘If God has glory, I have glory; God’s glory is my glory, and therefore God’s will is mine; if God has riches, then I have riches; if God is magnified, then I am magnified; if God is satisfied, then I am satisfied: God’s wisdom and holiness is mine, and therefore his will must needs be mine and my will must needs be his.’ This is the art of a Christian’s contentment…
-Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
