"When you exalt Him put forth all your strength and be not weary, for you can never go far enough" (Eccli. xliii. 34). The fact that we cannot go far enough is the very reason why we should go as far as we can.  If we cannot render God the whole of His deserts, we should at least offer Him all that is in our power.  Glorify the name of God, then, as much as you can, making His perfections known to others, enlightening their ignorance about Him, leading them to practice worship and prayer, and teaching them to love Him.  

          "No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
          Nor can the memory find
          A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
          O Saviour of mankind."

desert |dəˈzərt| noun (usually deserts) 
A person's worthiness or entitlement to reward.
