FROM TODAY’S READING (4/16/2021)...
READ AND CONTEMPLATE CAREFULLY
Oh, Jesus if I die upon A foreign field some day,
'Twould be no more than love demands No less could I repay,
"No greater love hath mortal man Than for a friend to die"
These are the words He gently spoke to me,
"If just a cup of water I place within your hand
Then just a cup of water Is all that I demand,"
But if by death to living They can thy glory see,
I'll take my cross and follow close to thee.
Ira F. Stanphill, “Follow Me” (1953)
Matthew 10:42 (NLT) And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.
Mark 9:41 (NLT) If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
