The Apostle Paul wrote, "Always give yourselves fully to the work of The Lord, because you know that your labor in The Lord is not in vain" (1 Cor 1:58b).
But, you might be thinking, I've tried to minister to some people in the past and it backfired on me or they didn't appreciate it or it didn't ultimately change anything. In fact, there is an old cliche, which says, "No good deed will go unpunished."
Aren't Christians even persecuted in some places for acting on their faith? Absolutely! And, often times there is no visible benefit to our service. Sometimes, we are indeed rebuffed or rejected.
However, no time is God not glorified by our heart-felt service. No time is someone not enriched by faithful service - whether the one served or the one serving or one witnessing the service - someone is being graced.
Whatever the challenges, the promise is clear, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Gal 6:9). Jus' Say'n.
