I love Calvin's wonder at God. I never realized this was such a devotional and deeply heart-rending book to read. It is because it flows out of Calvin's own heart for our Savior.
"By piety I mean that union of reverence and love to God which the knowledge of his benefits inspires. For, until men feel that they owe everything to God, that they are cherished by his paternal care, and that he is the author of all their blessings, so that naught is to be looked for away from him, they will never submit to him in voluntary obedience; no, unless they place their entire happiness in him, they will never yield their whole selves to him in truth and sincerity."-Chapter 2.2
