THE LORD REWARDED ME

It was not for personal glory this testimony was written;

It was out of deep appreciation of the LORD in heaven.

God knows all about our personal fears that exist;

But He sees and appreciates the faith that persists.

 

The LORD does not look for sinless perfection;

This is impossible because of sin’s corruption.

But He notes how we regard His judgments;

He also notes how we regard His statutes given.

 

The LORD will examine the true state of our heart;

He would know if from His word we depart.

But though there were fears that were deep;

True faith continues, the LORD’s face, to seek.

 

God is well-pleased when we seek to live righteously;

He will reward according to what we attempt faithfully.

His deliverance is His way of giving confirmation;

He will recompense with practical commendation.
