God bless!
Have you ever felt like your good deeds were simply not paying off? Like no one recognized or appreciated them? You are probably right, most people tend to ignore good until it is no longer existent. In other words we take things for granted, that's the Truth! Thank God though our good deeds are not done for the acceptance of people but rather for the Glory of God! If we find ourselves doing good deeds so man recognizes them we will grow frustrated but, if we put things into the correct order and realize that all good deeds we do are performed due to our appreciation of Him then we will disconnect from the need of human acceptance and enter into a state of spiritual fulfillment. Is this easy? Not at all! Nonetheless I'll put it to you like this: can you imagine if Jesus only would have offered salvation if He was accepted during His time on earth? We would all be lost at this time but, what He did was done as an offering of obedience to the Father. We benefited due to His ability to disregard the fact that those He was helping penalized Him and to be obedient to the Father whom did not overlook His sacrifice. Well thank God that the Father doesn't overlook the sacrifice you make either! Don't lose hope or your drive, your payoff is coming!
Pastor Joell A. Perez
For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name's sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do. (Hebrews 6:10 AMP)
