“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sowsgenerously will also reap generously” (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV).
We may be in for a surprise when God hands out the rewards inheaven and we see who were the ones who stored up treasure inheaven through their deeds on earth.
But because you sent so little, wewere only able to
build this smallcottage.
By doing so, she sent somuch material that wecouldn’t help but buildher a beautiful place.
The foundation isgood. But there’s
little else towork with.
The materialskeep coming. It’s
going to be a palace!
