Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
Psalm 100:4
"Jesus is not content that His brethren should think
meanly of Him; it is His pleasure that His espoused ones should be
delighted with His beauty. 
We are not to regard Him as a bare necessary,
like to bread and water, but as a luxurious delicacy, as a rare and
ravishing delight. To this end He has revealed Himself as the "pearl of
great price" in its peerless beauty, as the "bundle of myrrh" in its
refreshing fragrance, as the "rose of Sharon" in its lasting perfume, as
the "lily" in its spotless purity.
Remember the estimation that Christ is had in beyond
the skies, where things are measured by the right standard. Think how
God esteems the Only Begotten, His unspeakable gift to us. Consider what
the angels think of Him, as they count it their highest honor to veil
their faces at His feet.
Study Him
in His primeval glory, before He took upon Himself your nature! Think
of the mighty love which drew Him from His throne to die upon the cross!" Charles Spurgeon
