Irene BealesA new poem will be shown each time you visit this page.
A rich man is he
Who at the end of the week
Accepts his pay cheque -
Without any regrets.
He knows he's done a good job
At his work -
Given of his very best
And so - with conscience clear
He accepts the pay that he gets.
What you put in -
Whether in work or play
Is the amount you'll surely take out.
There's a feeling of achievement
When you've given of your best.
A cup with full measure -
Is for those
Who pass this test.
In our Christian life
The old proverb still applies -
And we should spend much time
In prayer - for guidance and strength
To encourage those - the fulfilment to know,
And lives that will show
How much we care - and the love we share,
Because others will measure us
By the cup that o'er flows.
So - fill up your cup with the first fruits
Of all that you are and have,
Don’t count the cost -
You'll reap more than you lost.
Jesus didn't hesitate
He gave "His all on the Cross".
We must show others in this world we live
How much better it is to give and give,
To put all of ourselves in showing to others.
Because love that's not shared
Can only bring sorrow - our Saviour to bear.
