~Accepting the Gift~

"So let thyself be found with a good gift to everyone who needs it, 

that the happy may find courage to accept thy good gifts,

 that the sorrowful may find courage to accept thy perfect gifts. 

For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, 

but for thee, O LORD, there is no difference in these things;

everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift."

-So'ren Kierkengaard
