It feels truly good when someone recognizes my efforts. Perhaps that’s why I find great comfort in the words that say no labor in God is ever in vain.
“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Co 15:58
Even the quietest service at church or the unseen sacrifices made for our brothers and sisters are not overlooked by God. There is no need to feel discouraged if others fail to notice, for God sees every detail, even the smallest act of love. Rather than swaying under the weight of others’ approval or indifference, I want to stay steady—devoted to the work God has entrusted to me. I believe with all my heart that at the end of this labor not in vain, a blessing far greater than I can imagine is waiting.
