Eph. 4:32• 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Eph. 4:32)
• Apparently a trifling thing this, but a loving heart directed it, and God has been pleased to place it on record where it will stand forever. In that day when every cup of cold water given in the name of the Lord shall not fail of reward, Ebedmelech’s “old cast clouts and rotten rags” used to lessen the pain of the man of God will be remembered and duly taken into account.
