Lending to the Lord

[wiirocku]

Proverbs 19:17 (NKJV) - He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.

[fierysword]

Many are in doubt about Love; Love's labor seems to them too hard... If their eyes clearly saw the reward that Love gives at the end...they would wander in Love's exile. In love no action is lost that was ever performed for Love's sake. Love always repays, late or soon... Her receiving is always giving.  They who serve Love with truth shall in love walk with Love all round that kingdom where Love is Lady, and united with her receive all that splendor and taste to the full her noble fidelity.

Hadewijch, 13th century mystic
