Beata Agustin Poet Quatern

Faithful Stewards

Faithful stewards* strive for “Well done!”
Doing utmost with strength’s fullest
Serving Christ, the eminent One
Who deserves verily the best.
	
With the Lord’s grace as girding might
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Radiating life-building's bright light
Exemplified by God's great Son.

With masterpiece they had begun
Perfection upon faith-venture
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Through divine nature and nurture.

Modelling humble excellence
Inspiration for everyone
Working in diligent silence
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”

*Matthew 25:21  His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

John Watt February 28, 2020 at 12:58 PM Beata, this is an excellent poetic paraphrase of the Matthew verse. "With the Lord’s grace as girding might" is a great reminder where our strength comes from. We seek not crowns nor medals won, simply thy words, "Servant: well done". Thank you for the encouraging poem ~ John
