When God crowns your merits, He is not crowning anything but His own gifts.
From 1 Peter 4:8-10: “Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”
