Give From Love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do not give to please yourself,

But to bring others joy.

You do not lend a helping hand

To earn an “Atta boy”!

 

You do not bind a broken heart

With praises for yourself,

And you don’t lead a lost lamb home

For trophies on a shelf.

 

Blessings should not be offered up

To earn credit or fame,

But given as we’ve received them,

In the grace of His name.

 

Of all the lessons I have learned

One stands out, I believe,

Don’t count the blessings that you give,

Only those you receive,

 

Matthew 6:3

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
