Analysis of Motivational Sacrifice
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Whoever sows sparingly, sparingly they will reap,
But to sow bountifully, will also reap abundantly;
Overflowing the barn to keep,
Will be living confidently.
Each one of us has to decide,
According to views in the heart;
Not reluctantly to abide,
But cheerful givers to impart.
Not a grudging necessity,
But a benevolent donor;
Righteously for a charity,
Being humble as a fawner.
For God loves a cheerful giver,
Blessings be gracefully abound;
That displays a true believer,
As more blessings will then be found.
Blessings will come from your good deeds,
Abounding confidence through grace;
With sufficiency of your needs,
That comforts you that will embrace.
For as you do freely bestow,
When righteousness stays forever;
The blessings from glory will glow,
The love from God will not sever.
