Extract From a Letter: A Crown

 
Rev. 3:1111Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:11) is much before me in its connection. Who has the greater joy? The One who gives the crown, or the one who receives it?
The greatest sorrow for us, would be, not to lose the crown, but to deprive Him of His joy in giving it.
