God Counted Cross

I counted dollars while God counted crosses,
I counted gains while He counted losses,
I counted by worth by the things gained in store
But He sized me up by the scars that I bore.
I coveted honors and sought for degrees,
He wept as He counted the hours on my knees;
I never knew until one day by the grave
How vain are the things that we spend life to save;
I did not yet know until my loved one went above
That richest is he who is rich in God’s love.
-The Brethren Evangelist –
“Betapa sia-sianya usaha yang kita lakukan dalam hidup, tanpa memiliki Yesus.
Orang yang paling kaya adalah mereka yang kaya dalam kasih karunia Allah.”
