Prayer on giving

Let me share a prayer written by John Gowans, a former General.

"Please let me be extravagant
In what I give or do.
I want to spend my 'Everything'
And all my time with You.

Not penny-pinching, miserly,
Not keeping strict account;
Investing all I have and then
Forgetting the amount!

If, feeling sorry for myself,
I start to count the cost,
Then I shall be the poorer -
What I have gained will all be lost.

O Lord when I begin to stray
From dedication's track,
Remind me of the way You gave
And I'll hold nothing back!  (from "O Lord" by John Gowans)
