“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (Hebrews 6:10).

The servant of the Lord labors in the realm of the unseen. We plow in hope and sow in faith. Sometimes we wonder if our efforts are worthwhile, if we are making a difference for God or if we should even continue.

Charles Spurgeon wrote, “You don’t know what converts God has given to you. There are scattered up and down the world—perhaps some precious ones who owe their salvation instrumentally to you, and could they all stand before you; you would blush with shame at the thought of leaving a harvest field that has really been so prolific though not in your sight. Go back again to thy work, for the Lord has blessed thee. Play not the fool by deserting the post where he will give thee honour yet.” Two men visited our church service this past Sunday. As they were leaving, they told me they were saved at our church 30 years as young boys through our AWANA Club ministry. They said they wanted to come back and say, “Thanks.” Praise God!

God knows the tough spot you may be in today. He also remembers what you have done for Him and others. I am thankful that “the Christian life is a series of new beginnings.” God wants us to start fresh in our walk and work with Him in this season of life, and to make the most of the opportunity He has given us. Take heart by taking hold of His promises - your labor is not in vain.

Your record is on high. Rest in the God Who will do right by you because it would not be right for Him to forget what you have done in His name. Let’s enjoy serving the Lord and leave the results with Him.

Sincerely,
