We lose many blessings because we overlook the blessings we receive daily, yearning for that which we don't have.
The common mercies which thickly cover our pathway are forgotten and undervalued. We may learn lessons from the humble things of God in nature. The flower in dark humble places responds to all the rays of light it can get, and puts forth its leaves. The caged bird sings in the sunless tenement, as if in a sunny mansion.
God knows whether we will make a wise use of His blessings. He will never give them to us to abuse. God loves the thankful heart, that trusts implicitly in His words of promise, gathering comfort and hope and peace from them; and God will reveal to us still greater depths of His love.
