Key Verse: "And whosoever shall give
to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his
reward."
- Matthew 10:42 KJV
We never can know what the full outcome of our simplest kindnesses will be. We speak a cheerful word to one who is discouraged. We pass on, scarcely giving another thought to the matter. Yet perhaps our word has saved a life from despair, helped a fainting robin back unto its nest again, or changed a destiny from darkness to light.
Nor can we know how far the influence of our word shall
extend. A pebble dropped into the sea, starts wavelets which go around and
around the world. A word spoken into the air, goes pulsating in the
atmosphere forever. So it is with the things we do for Christ. We cannot
follow them, to trace their story; but their blessing shall never cease from
the world's life. There will be many surprises in heaven, when we learn the
effects of our words and deeds of love.
Are you Saved?
