What is life at all,
If you have nothing to remember?
Why should a child have no where to turn,
Crying out, âFather, help! God, save me!â
Words cannot describe the pain
Even images cannot depict the horror
For suffering is a private experience
Let those with food eat it
So that they may not be tired
Make them not lazy or over restful,
Give them empathy for hardship
There is pain in the work
There are struggles and costs
But be grateful amidst your pain
And deliver relief to the others
Give your life by devoting it to giving back
Lay it down by your work
And build Godâs Kingdom on Earth
Taking part in the Salvation of Jesus
Come to God with wisdom
Approach Him humbly
He does not lead all people
The one who gets excited by money
Or the one full of dreams and fantasies
About riches or fame or Earthly success
He shows love and uplifts His Chosen
Who heed guidance selflessly
Who dream of giving back
And expect nothing in return
Our Father will strengthen them,
He will help and deliver them!
People and angels have honored many gifts
Some a fraction, some a tenth, others a third
Some say to give whatâs left beyond needs
Yet God does not ask any of these of you
Almighty God, in all His Power, calls you out
He asks that you give all you have to the poor
Do it all at once, and then follow Jesus
Yes, be generous whenever you can
But donât be deceived by wealth and life
Be not afraid at all
For not only will you survive your gift
Even more, you shall truly find your own life
Even when you doubt, Jesus shall catch you
Truly, the one who gives all will see the Power of God
But what of the single parents,
What about the children?
What of those whose hearts are not ready?
Certainly, Your Father will always accept your gift
Yet begin work for His sake, and when you do,
Do not turn back
Praise God!
He doesnât want to place His sheep in danger
So do not let the old ways of travel be your means of travel
For some there was a donkey, for others a camel
For us there is both the vehicle and the internet
Give your provision, your resources
Give your time, your knowledge
Be a knowledgeable servant
Hide away from the public eye
Let your giving be in secret
So God may reward you in Paradise
And your gift may be between you and Him
