Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

Compassion
If God spares us as a father does his son, let us imitate God. It is natural for children to imitate their parents. Let us imitate God in this one thing: As God spares us, and passes by many failures, so let us be sparing in our censures of others; let us look upon the weaknesses and indiscretions of our brethren with… a more tender, compassionate eye. How much God bears with us!

Christ the Most Bountiful Physician
Christ is the most bountiful physician. Other patients do enrich their physicians, but here the physician doth enrich the patient. Christ elevates all his patients: he doth not only cure them but crown them (Rev. 2:10). Christ doth not only raise them from the bed, but to the throne; he gives the sick man not only health but also heaven.

Growing in Grace
The growth of grace is the best evidence of the truth of it; things that have no life will not grow.
