Men Do not Avail Themselves of the Riches of God's Grace
H. W. Beecher. Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,… They love to nurse their cares, and seem as uneasy without some fret, as an old friar would be without his hair girdle.

They take God's ticket to heaven, and then put their baggage on their shoulders, and tramp, tramp, the whole way there afoot. (H. W. Beecher.)
