give me a grateful heart

'Wherefore I cry, and cry again;
And in no quiet canst thou be,
Till I a thankful heart obtain
Of Thee:

Not thankful when it pleaseth me;
As if thy blessings had spare days:
But such a heart whose pulse may be
Thy praise'

George Herbert

Theology is 'good' when it causes us to worship God. The reformers and Moltmann, for example, would demand that our theology turns our hearts to God doxologically. Surely this is right.
