A lot of times I'm really happy to serve God, doing whatever I can do. But sometimes I do feel frustrated, mostly because I feel that the job I have done falls below my own standards and expectations, and at times I even want to throw in the towel and quit.
Recently I have been reading a book for devotion, and the chapter I read this morning really made me feel a lot better.
Here are some of the quotes from that chapter:
"His greatest reward by far for what we do... comes to us when it will matter the
most--in heaven... Yet as followers of Jesus we can easily lose track of the same truth as it relates to eternity. If we don't see justice or benefit in the here and now, we begin to doubt God's faithfulness. We may even decide not to bother doing the work He's given us to do... Maybe you simply need to resolve the issue of the timing of God's reward."
yes... light bulb shining above my head~ it reminded me that the point of what I do here on earth is not for my own instant satisfaction... I work hard in what I do because I'm doing it for God, and the greatest reward from the hard work will be in heaven, not right now, right here.
