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!
your confidence has great reward!
In life, there will be times that people and circumstances come against us. The scriptures reveal how God’s servants went through many problems and persecutions. However, with God on their side, they were delivered time and time again. Romans 8:31 (AMP) says: “What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us”? It confirms that we will be challenged, but it also says “who will be successful against us”? so it is not that we will never have problems. The point is that these issues, challenges and persecutions will NOT be successful against us. The key is not to give up or give in. Galations 6:9 says: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. Hebrews 10: 35, 36 “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised”. Continue to stand in your faith in Christ. Your breakthrough is on its way!
