I received your letter, and think you overlook our ever adorable Jesus, in setting any value upon a poor, dirty worm such as myself. 

    If His grace raised this poor, dirty worm from a dunghill and set it upon a throne with His princes, who shall have the glory - the worm or Jesus? Shall any of His due praise be given to the worm? God forbid!

    As vile and base as I am - yet He lets me approach Him and converse with Him freely. 

    He condescends to admit me into fellowship with Him; and He opens His treasures and says, "All these are yours. I bought them for you with the price of My blood, but I give them to you as a free gift!"
