John 3:34-36 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.… King Porus, when Alexander asked him, being then his prisoner, how he would be used, answered in one word, "Basilikeios," that is, "Like a king." Alexander again replying, "Do you desire nothing else?" "No," said he, "all things are in this one word, 'Like a king.'" Whereupon Alexander restored him again. But this has not always been the happiness of kings and princes. Yet, however, he that hath God hath all things, because God is all things. Take a pen, and write down riches, honours, preferments, they are but as so many ciphers — they signify nothing; but write down God alone, and He will raise them to thousands — hundreds of thousands. And then it is that a Christian is truly happy, when he can find himself, and all things, in his God.
