DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that a Christian's wealth in grace and
relationship with Christ far outweighs any earthly struggles or material
lack. He asserts that even the smallest token of God's favor is more
valuable than all the riches of the world, and that true contentment
comes from knowing God as our portion. Brooks encourages believers to
recognize their spiritual abundance, which provides joy and hope,
regardless of their physical circumstances. He concludes that those who
are clothed in Christ's righteousness have no reason to complain, as
their souls are nourished by heavenly blessings.

The least drop of grace,

the least smile from Christ's face,

the least kiss of His mouth,

the least embrace of His arm,

the least hint of His favor--

is worth more than ten thousand worlds!

That Christian cannot be poor--who is rich in grace.

That Christian cannot be miserable--who has God

for his portion.

That Christian cannot be unhappy--who has a

mansion prepared for him in heaven, though he

has not a cottage to hide his head in, in this world.

That Christian has no cause to complain of lack

of food for his body--whose soul is feasted with

manna, with the dainties of heaven, with those

rarities which are better than angels' food!

He who has but rags to cover his back, if his soul

is clothed with the garments of salvation, and

covered with the robe of Christ's righteousness,

he has no reason to complain!
