Deus meus et omnia

[God is mine, and everything is mine.]
In his classic book Knowing God, J.I. Packer wrote, "The measure of love is how much it gives." That alone has been enough food to fuel a month's supply of meditation. However, he also included the following gripping Puritan quote:
"My grace, saith God, shall be yours to pardon you, and My power shall be yours to protect you, and My wisdom shall be yours to direct you, and My goodness shall be yours to relieve you, and My mercy shall be yours to supply you, and My glory shall be yours to crown you." (Emphases mine.)
I am His; and He is mine.
What a blessed belief.
