God notices the most trivial act; accepts
the poorest, most threadbare little service;
listens to the coldest, feeblest petition;
and gathers up with parental fondness all
our fragmentary desires and attempts to
serve Him.

Oh, if we could only begin to conceive how He
loves us, what different creatures we would be!

(from "Stepping Heavenward" by Elizabeth Prentiss)s
