A young man once fell in love with a girl and saw the starlight in her eyes when he proposed. He bought a ring to give her but he was poor, and it wasn’t a very big diamond. He said to her apologetically, "It is not a very big stone." But she replied, "It is as big as we make it."

If you are convicted of sin by the crucifixion of Christ in your place, and if the Holy Spirit draws you by the warm love of the Father, you may come and said, “Here’s my heart. It’s all I have, but it’s not very big.” The Father, in his gracious goodness, will accept it and reply, “It’s as big as we make it.
