You Shine with a Borrowed Light

"How contented and well pleased should we be with our outward lot, however Providence has cast it for us in this world. O do not repine, God hath dealt bountifully with you; upon others he hath bestowed the good things of this world; upon you, himself in Christ. How humble and lowly in spirit should you be under your great advancement. It is true, God hath magnified you greatly by this union; but yet do not boast. You bear not the root, but the root you. You shine, but with a borrowed light."
