Were you aware that your labor is not in vain in the Kingdom of God. Your service and generosity is precious to our Heavenly Father? The Apostle Paul said this in 1 Cor 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” He is pleased when we act selflessly and with Godly love. Believe me, He knows when we do things with hidden agendas, and when we do things for others with true love and sacrifice. The Apostle Paul knew this, and he shared this truth with the Church in Phillipi (Phillipians 4). When they sent resources to him during a time of great need, he responded to them by saying that their gifts and sacrifices were a sweet smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. Know today that your prayers, your gifts, your sacrifices, your service is recognized and appreciated in God’s presence. Your time is never wasted when you serve God and minister to His people. On the contrary, what you do for others, God will make happen for you!
Colossians 3:23-24 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ”
Phillipians 4:18 “Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God”
Amen amen
