Instead, pay them back with a blessing.
That is what God has called you to do,
and he will grant you his blessing.”

My comparison – This song reminds me of the hymn “Let it Begin in Me”. I have had this theme in my life for a while now. I hope you will listen to the Gaither Vocal Band and have the theme brought afresh to your life through “Let it Start with Me”. I heard them sing this a few months ago and then again last night on the regular Gaither program which was recorded at Joey and Rory Feek’s barn a couple years ago. My point today is that we each have to step up and be counted.
