Perspective

... consider what great things He has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24

"He has never done anything greater for anyone, nor could He do anything greater for you, than bring you to Himself. Suppose He put ten million dollars into your bank account every morning for the rest of your life, but He didn't save you? Suppose He gave you the most beautiful body and face of anyone who ever lived, a body that never aged for a thousand years, but then at death He shut you out of Heaven and into hell for eternity? What has God ever given anyone that could compare with the salvation He has given you as a believer? Do you see that there is nothing God could ever do for you or give to you greater than the gift of Himself."

Dallas Willard as quoted in Spiritual Disciplines for L.I.F.E. by Donald S. Whitney, p. 113.
