He Will Not Forget

Good Morning,

Hebrews 6:10 (New International Version)
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

I'm sending this along as a reminder to all of us, and perhaps myself in particular, that the work we do to help God's children is NEVER forgotten or dismissed by God. Yes, we will all have times when we wonder if what we do in service to God does any good whatever. I'm sure that every one of us will have doubts about whether the work we are doing actually helps in any way at all. You see, we are human and as human beings we are subject to our human doubts and, again as humans, we will want to know the ultimate outcome of our work in the Lord's service.

Unfortunately...and I say this because it certainly applies to me...we will often never know what the final results of our work are. I use the word "unfortunately" because, like many others, I really DO want to see the fruits of my labors in the work I've tried to do as I have felt led by God to do it. I'm sure that many who read these words are much like me in this, as well.

However, it is very often not for us to know...at least in this human lifetime...what the consequences of our work will be. Again, very often, the results of our work won't even be attained until after we have gone home to the Lord.

Ok, today is a sort of "woe is me" kind of day, I guess, in that I'm having a day of "Huh! I wonder...???" Now that I've actually said and written that, well, it seems pretty silly and self centered. Especially after I go back again are re read today's verse of Scripture.

You see, God knows what I've done, what we've ALL done, in obedience to Him in taking on whatever work we have to help His children. And, as we read, "He will not forget your work..." We have this promise to rest on and keep close to our hearts, in our minds, to give us peace.

So, whenever we get this kind of melancholy feeling about whether or not we make a difference or if anyone notices or if we're being effective, let's just remember that God knows and, ultimately, He's the one who will remember and reward.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
