Motivated Giving
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Whoever sows sparingly,
Sparingly they also reap;
If you sow bountifully,
Abundantly you shall keep.
Each one must give from the heart,
God loves a cheerful giver;
Not reluctant to impart,
But a faithful believer.
God can abound grace to you,
By having sufficient things;
In the good work that you do,
For the blessings that it brings.
He who is benevolent,
And has given to the poor;
Is righteously jubilant,
Rewarded blessings galore.
