Encouragement for YOU!

I just want to say that you are great and appreciated. And that all the hard work you do is noticed. Even if it feels like you're not making an impact, you are. Even if people aren't raving about all the things you do, God is. He notices. 


I know how easy it is to feel like what you're doing isn't really affecting anyone. It's super easy, to just give up because it feels like no one cares about all the hours you spent baking cupcakes for the bake sale, spending your Sunday mornings chasing after toddlers in the nursery, giving your shoe shopping money to help missionaries or putting all your effort into organizing a bible study. I know how you feel, I'm right there with you! 

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.
Hebrews 6:10 


I just feel like what I'm doing right now isn't really mattering or making a difference the way I want it to or at all. So I guess this is encouragement to you and to me too because we all need it. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, child, student, young adult, not-as-young adult, or somewhere in between, every action you make for the glory of God, he sees. He sees how hard you try and all of the work you do and, let me tell you, God appreciates it so much! Without people like you, nothing for the Kingdom of Heaven would get done. Sometimes it's hard see the greatness of what you're doing, but it's there. So keep on keepin' on! There is no one like you to do the work God has for you so do it with all your heart and never give up because God rewards his children.
