It may seem as though acts of generous service can lead to difficult sacrifices, distress, even death, but in truth, God eternally upholds each of us as spiritual, safe, loved, and loving.

Do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest.
– Luke 6:35
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
– I Corinthians 15:55
That man does not pay the severest penalty who does the most good.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 387
Love is true solace and giveth joy for sorrow, –
O, in that light, all earthly loss is gain;
Joy must endure, Love’s giving is forever;
Life is of God, whose radiance cannot wane.
