“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10.
“Whosoever shall give … a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple … shall in no wise lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42.
“God loveth a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7.
What a wonder it is that the Lord over all,
Whose wealth is unbounded, unknown,
Takes notice of everything done, large or small,
And so values the gifts from His own.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
All the land, and the silver, and gold;
The cattle and sheep upon thousands of hills,
All the wealth, and the riches untold.
“God giveth us richly all things to enjoy”
From out of His bountiful store;
For “Every good gift cometh down from above,”
And daily He blesses us more.
He gave unto us the “unspeakable gift,”
Of Jesus, the Son of His love;
To ransom our souls from the bondage of sin,
And bring us to Glory above.
Such wonderful love! 'Tis the least we can do,
And a very small thing on our part,
To render the worship and praise due to Him,
And grant Him first place in the heart.
'Tis our privilege then to return unto Him,
A portion of what we possess:
The steward who's willing and faithful in this,
The Lord will assuredly bless.
Think not He's unmindful of anything given,
No matter how small an amount;
He desires not the gift, but the blessing for you,
That fruit may abound on account.
And Jesus beholds how we give unto Him,
The widow's two mites may seem small,
But she gave with a heart full of love to her Lord,
And to Him, “She gave more than they all.”
A cup of cold water, He'll not overlook,
If given as unto the Lord;
How little it takes for the Savior to note,
And in Glory to richly reward.
Who cheerfully, willingly, gives to the Lord,
His promise of blessing is sure:
That He will provide an abundant reward:
Through Eternity, it will endure.
