Infant Jesus with a Lamb, Bernardino Luini, 1524 All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
Psalm 45:8
Please read Make Him Glad with Your Love, by Alistair Begg, at One Place.
"And who are those who enjoy the privilege of making the Savior glad? His church -- His people. But is it possible? He makes us glad, but how can we make Him glad? By our love. We think it so cold, so faint; and so, indeed, we must sorrowfully confess it to be, but it is very sweet to Christ..."
"...Our praise also gives Him joy - not the song of the lips alone, but the melody of the heart's deep gratitude. Our gifts are also very pleasant to Him; He loves to see us lay our time, our talents, our substance upon the altar, not for the value of what we give, but for the sake of the motive from which the gift springs. To Him the lowly offerings of His saints are more acceptable than the thousands of gold and silver."
