Patmore: God's answers
Meditation:
From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
—John 1:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
God usually answers our prayers according rather to the measure of His own magnificence, than to that of our asking; so that we often do not know His [benefits] to be those for which we besought Him.
