Your Labor Is Not In Vain

In the Kingdom of God we are called to labor. God does not seek nor does He want a lazy child or servant. But being the humans that we are there are times that we grow weary; with the trials and tribulations that we face on a regular basis, sometimes it's hard to put a smile on our face is we work in God's harvest field, but what we must come to know and always remember is that our labor is not in vain.

Though you may toil day and night, night and day, you must not forget what is up ahead. There are times where the future may look dim, but don't give up; there may be times when you can't get up for getting knocked back down, but don't give in. As you work before God, ministering to the lost and to the needy in His Kingdom, He is watching and He is keeping a very precise and detailed record of all your actions, you will be richly rewarded.

Now we all know that God rewards those who labor, but don't let that be your only motivation for doing whatever it is that you do in God's Kingdom; the number one mode of motivation that should get and keep you active no matter what is your love for Him. Those who truly love God, do as He says and no matter what goes on in life, that burning desire that they have for God in their heart is the thing that keeps them motivated, even when surrounded by darkness.

Don't worry and don't doubt, your humility and labor has been fully accredited for in Heaven. God sees your constant work, and God loves those who are constantly about His business. Imitate our Savior, Jesus Christ, who no matter what He faced, or how He felt, He made sure that the task before Him was complete. As you minister to the lost and to God's flock, be sure to try and always smile, rejoicing in the hope that has been given to us in the Body of Christ. Always look past your feelings and fears, as you serve our Heavenly Father in love, knowing that your labor is not in vain.

Acts 10:4 The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God."

God Bless!!!
