No service for Christ goes unnoticed by Him.
READ: Romans 12:1 -1 0
We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,Romans12:4.
As I was giving myself a manicure, I started feeling sorry for my right hand. It does the most work, but my left hand gets the most attention. My right hand applies nail polish smoothly to my left-hand nails, but my left hand, lacking skill and coordination, does not return the favour. The polish on my right hand is always smeared and messy. One hand does the better work, but the other hand gets all the attention and honour.
As I worked on my fingernails, my thoughts turned toward something much more important, the people in my church, many of whom are highly skilled at tasks that make others look good. These hardworking folks, however, seldom get noticed, because their work puts the attention on someone else. It seems unfair that those who do such good work get little appreciation.
Truly servant-minded believers, though, don’t see it that way. They give preference to others (Rom. 12:10) because they know that God sees what others do not, and that He will reward those whose work is unseen by others (Matt. 6:4-6,18; 1 Cor. 12:24). Is someone else reaping the benefit of your hard work? Be encouraged. God rewards those who work “invisibly” to make Christ visible to the world. - Julie Ackennfm Link
The service that we do for God
May go unpraised by men;
But when we stand before the Lord,
He will reward us then - Sper
PRAYER:-
³ Pray that every believer at Christlife will know their spiritual gift and that they’d be willing to use it for the common good of the body. Pray that we would have ample opportunity to serve and love one another with Jesus’ love.
³ Pray that the children we are supporting through Compassion in Manado will grow strong in Christ and bring great change to the area for Jesus’ name.
