| “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work…” |
| —Hebrews 6:10a |
Sometimes we wonder if anyone ever notices those times when we reach out to others with acts of kindness, or generosity, or God-breathed love. If we’re truly “giving” perople, we may sometimes wonder if anyone even noticed our many self-sacrificing acts of kindness.
We realize, of course, that we purposely extend our acts of kindness and genorosity without ever expecting anything in return, or even to have anyone notice. On our part, we intend such acts to become expressions of God-breathed love. We merely become vessels through which God touches the lives of others with His divine and powerful love.
Even so, because we are human and continue to possess our fallen nature, we do wonder if anyone notices our acts of kindness and generosity. Let me assure you this day that, whether or not anyone else noticed what we have done, God did!
The writer of the Book of Hebrews put it this way in Hebrews 6:10:
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.
Every act of kindness, every act of generosity we have done in Christ’s name has been fully observed by God. Not only has God noticed what we have done, He has committed it to His memory. God takes note of our sacrifice of love and He will not forget what we have done.
So, dear ones, let us take heart at the beginning of this new day. Whether or not anyone else realized what we have done in reaching out to meet the genuine needs of others, God knows and He will always remember.
