"Give me your eyes for just one second,
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missin',
Give me your love for humanity."

Matt. 10:42

And whosover 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 way lose his reward. Matt. 10:42

"For the sake of their Master, I love the disciples." - Spurgeon

Do this humbly, do this cheerfully. A small act.

"Evidently it is not the cost, nor the skill, nor the quantity, that He looks at, but the motive: that which we do to a disciples, because he is a disciple, his Lord observes and recompenses. He does not reward us for the merit of what we do but according to the riches of His grace. I give a cup of cold water, and He makes me to drink of living water. I give to one of His little ones, and He treats me as one of them. Jesus finds an apology for his liberality in that which His grace has led me to do, and He says, 'He shall in no way lose his reward.'" - Spurgeon

Wow! So good. WTs=
1. Build up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Not here.
2. First give to His disciples.
3. It is not the quantity, it is the drink.
4. Minister to those around me, and notice who needs a drink.

Help me today, O God, take my eyes off of self and notice who needs a drink of cold water. Amen.
