GOD WILL NOT FORGET YOUR WORK OR LABOR OF LOVE

Scripture: Hebrews 6:10 "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love

God does not overlook any of the deeds or labors of love that you show when you minister in His name.
He sees each time that you meet the needs of others and promises not to forget it.
His word says that when you give to the poor you lend to the Lord and He will repay.
It also says that whatever you give will be given back to you in greater measure.
God is righteous and there is no way that you can out give the Lord,
for He pays good interest rates on what He borrows from you.

Love is not a big, red, heart-shaped box full of chocolate candy, a dozen red roses, or a special card with cupids.
Neither is love a mushy feeling or goose bumps.
These are all neat expressions of love but true love has actions.
Love sets its own desires aside to take care of the needs of others.
It does not look inward but forgets about its own discomfort.
We see this unselfish love manifested in the love a parent has for their children
or in the love that a child has for an elderly parent.
We see it when a married couple live out the words of their wedding vows, "to love in sickness as well as in health".
We also see it when the saints minister to the needs of the other saints,
when pastors sacrifice their own agendas for their sheep, or when a missionary leaves all to go to the foreign field.
Love always can be seen by its actions
and endures all things, without fail.

For The Giver God Will Bless
by Connie Ciccone

Do you know a heart that hungers
For a word of love and cheer?
There are many such about us
that one may be oh! so near.

Look around you, if you find it
Speak Gods word that's needed so,
Your own heart may be strengthened
By the help that you bestow.

Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on waters cast are they.
And one day we will find them
Coming back to us, some day.

Coming back when sorely needed,
In a time of such distress,
So, my friend, let's give them freely;
For The Giver God Will Bless.
