Listen from:
TI 6:17{"Richly." So richly, that if you tried to write down half His gifts to you, your hand would tire long before you had done. You might easily make a list of gifts given to you by others, but you could not make a list of what God gives you every day of your life. "All things." All the things you really need, and a great many more besides. All the things that will do you good, a great many more than you would ever have thought of. All the things that He can fill your hands with, and trust you to carry without stumbling and falling. All things, everything that you have. "To enjoy." Now how kind this is! Not only to do us good, but to enjoy. So you see He means you to be happy with what He gives you, and not to be dismal and melancholy. If you do not enjoy what He giveth, that is your own fault, for He meant you to enjoy it. Look up to Him with a bright smile, and thank Him for having given you richly all things to enjoy!
My joys to Thee I bring,
The joys Thy love path given,
That each may be a wing
To lift me nearer Heaven.
I bring them, Savior, all to Thee,
For Thou hest purchased all for me.
