Your Labour IN the Lord is Not Wasted

"Therefore, my dear brothers, 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 Corinthians 15:58

Ever feel that what you have done is diminutive, too insignificant, that sometimes you feel discouraged and disheartened because no one seems to notice what you have done or laboured, not even a "thank you", "good job", "you've done well", "thank you so much for all your effort", "that blesses me!", "you are awesome", etc? Take heart! It has been clearly promised that "our labour in the Lord is not in vain". In other word it means "nothing we do for the Lord is useless or wasted". God sees it, God has it counted. If I put in another perspective, SIN, regardless of how small our sin might seem to be, God knows, and God has it counted. 

So cheer up! Everything that we do, regardless of how insignificant we think it is, it's never insignificant in God's eyes, as long as we DO IT IN THE LORD, FOR GOD. If we study, study for the glory of God, if we work, work for the glory of God. Be faithful. We work not for the recognition of man, but for the Audience of One.
