And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water
because he is a disciple,
truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Matt.10:42
The high and holy calling that each person is born to
Can sometimes be lost sight of in life’s day-to-day ado
Then help us Lord, to search your perfect law of liberty
And serve each other by your grace with true humility
There is no task too lowly when we labour for the Lord
And heartily do what we ought, according to His word
Then let us never dare to sigh with bold ingratitude
But ever seek to honor each morning’s mercy renewed
None knows the day or hour when we will be called away
Therefore we ought to live as if each day could be the day
And consider in love how we can serve each other here
So much to do, so little time before He will appear
The freedom we are called to binds us with the law of love
It does not grant permission to indulge desire with ‘stuff’
But rather sets in place a blessed joy for one and all
That when we serve Him by His grace no labour is too small

James 1:25
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it,
and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
Can sometimes be lost sight of in life’s day-to-day ado
Then help us Lord, to search your perfect law of liberty
And serve each other by your grace with true humility
There is no task too lowly when we labour for the Lord
And heartily do what we ought, according to His word
Then let us never dare to sigh with bold ingratitude
But ever seek to honor each morning’s mercy renewed
None knows the day or hour when we will be called away
Therefore we ought to live as if each day could be the day
And consider in love how we can serve each other here
So much to do, so little time before He will appear
The freedom we are called to binds us with the law of love
It does not grant permission to indulge desire with ‘stuff’
But rather sets in place a blessed joy for one and all
That when we serve Him by His grace no labour is too small

James 1:25
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it,
and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this one will be blessed in what he does.
A word of encouragement to the bed-ridden...
Bottom Line:
When we labour for the Lord nothing we do is in vain.
When we don't labour for Him, everything we do is in vain.
