WITHOUT REWARD

 

WITHOUT REWARD

We are all CHILDREN

Of God=we are all

To be SERVANTS of Jesus

We are to DO

Corporal and spiritual WORKS
OF MERCY=We are to

LIVE the beatitudes

“LOOK to the Lord

In his strength=

Seek to serve him constantly” Psalm 105:4-5

We are called

To be TRUE SERVANTS

Of God=and live it

Without expectation of EARTHLY REWARD

SERVE the Lord=

Feed the hungry-

Shelter the homeless-

COMFORT the afflicted=

And do it all

In the names=

Of God and Jesus

WITHOUT expecting anything

“May the Lord

Repay you

For what you have done

May you be

Richly REWARDED

By the Lord-

The God of Israel

Under whose wings

You have come

To take refuge” Ruth 2:12

“The Lord

HAS REWARDED ME

According to my righteousness

According to the cleanness

Of my hands=in his sight” Psalm 18:24

“The faithless

Will be fully repaid

For their ways

And the good=

REWARDED for theirs” Proverbs 14:14

WHEN we do good

In this life=

We don't do it

For any reason=

For any reward

But OFTEN TIMES

God repays us=

God rewards us

From someone else

The GOD of our Fathers

Is faithful and FAIR

“The one who plants

And the one who waters-

Have one purpose

And they will each

BE REWARDED

According to their own labor” 1 Corinthians 3:8

We may NEVER SEE

Our good in this life

And how it IMPACTS OTHERS

We may WONDER

If it matters at all

We will probably

NEVER RECEIVE=any tangible reward=

But in performing small tasks

With LOVE AND HUMILITY

We will receive

GRACE FROM GOD

We will receive his blessings

So KEEP doing good

For those=the Lord

Puts IN FRONT OF YOU

And you will feel GOOD

Even if it is=WITHOUT REWARD

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER GOOD FATHER
