THE ULTIMATE VOLUNTEER
In every society
There are
Three kinds of people
The lawless
Those who do
What the law demands
And the volunteers
Those who go the extra mile
Jesus was
The ultimate volunteer
He gave his life
Freely for all of us
He was
Not just a hired hand
He was the ultimate GOOD SHEPHERD
Who did not lose
Any of his sheep
So Lord
We ask of you
Not just to do
As we are asked
But for the grace
To go the extra mile
We ask of you
To give our lives freely
Back to you
Not just
To be loved by God
But to give
Our life and love back in return
We ask of you
For the grace
To live like you
To give our lives freely
And to be like you
Go the extra mile
And be
THE ULTIMATE VOLUNTEER

Ps “Heal the
sick-raise the dead-cleanse those who have leprosy
-drive out
demons-
Freely you
have received-freely give”
Matthew 10:8
( Jesus
to the 12 chosen apostles-and US )
“Each man
should give
What he
has decided in hi heart to give
NOT
reluctantly or under compulsion
FOR GOD
LOVES a cheerful giver”
2 Corinthians 9:7
