Tag: Expect

There are many that expect for people to respond with thanks and gratitude when they do something nice for them. The truth is that there will be many times when we do kind things for people, but they won’t even acknowledge your kindness. Some have even stopped ministering to others because they have been disappointed in the past when their actions of love and kindness haven’t been recognized or respected. I have good news for you. Ephesians 6:8 says: “knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord”. Notice that it doesn’t say that people need to pay you back for the good you do. It says that God is the one that responds to your acts of kindness. It says when we do something good, we will receive the same from the Lord! The TPT version says it this way: “Be assured that anything you do that is beautiful and excellent will be repaid by our Lord, whether you are an employee or an employer”. Be encouraged today that God sees your service and acts of love and kindness. Even if no one recognizes it, God sees it and He will reward you, Hallelujah!
