Sometimes we feel like our work for the Lord goes unnoticed and unrewarded? We become discouraged when we think God has forgotten all we have done for Him. But, that is NOT the way it is!
We are told in Hebrews, "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Hebrews 6:10 (NIV).
Our labor of love for our Lord's Kingdom may be forgotten by His people, but don't be discouraged. God hasn't forgotten you and he is the one you want to please. If he would forget, then he would be unjust and God is NOT unjust! It's crazy to think that our God would forget something. Then he wouldn't be God.
Our Sovereign Lord sees all and remembers all as he sits on his mighty throne in heaven. What is done on earth in the love and the name of Jesus shall be written in the eternal record of the good things we have done. Continue to help your brothers and sisters in Christ.
"He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done." Proverbs 19:17. (NIV)
Jesus spoke of giving hospitality and showing kindness to God's people. He said in Matthew 10:42 (NIV), "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
Don't let a need go ignored. Keep Showing the love of Christ!
