Laborers of God

I Corinthians 3:5-8

Our seed has been planted then is watered,
Your imagination creating to it be pictured;
But it is up to God, who will make it grow,
With an outcome that only He will know;
As man and not God had planted the seed,
Providing enough water for it able to feed;
While God provides sun in giving it height,
But God expects you to nurture it upright;
For your reward will be to your own labor,
Since God look down upon you with favor.
There is nothing that we ever do alone,
God is always there to be our keystone;
For He is a masterbuilder and foundation,
The master planner for all of creation;
He has made us to be part of His team,
Helping Him with continuing the dream;
For our hands and feet perform a chore,
That the plan of God may have in store;
He compensates us for services rendered,
Rewarding us things done above standard.
