WHEN GIVING YOUR GIFTS
开云体育26 December 2024 WHEN GIVING YOUR GIFTS Words: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Music: Joseph Martin Kraus When giving your gifts, don't let others see; don't point to yourselves and say, "Look at me!" For some think that praise is its own great reward, but gifts made in secret are blessed by the Lord. When talking to God, don't be on display; just go in your room and quietly pray. And when you are fasting, don't make it a show, for God is the only one needing to know. Don't store for yourselves the treasures of earth, for kept on their shelves, they'll lose what they're worth. The moth will consume them, the rust will destroy, and thieves will take all that you hope to enjoy. O Lord, you have said: Seek treasures above like sharing of bread and labors of love, like kindness to strangers and gifts to the poor. These gifts, given humbly, will surely endure.
