Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men.

Colossians 3:23 (AMP)

Our service for the Lord is to please Him, not men. If we forget this important truth, we’ll quickly lose our zeal for serving the Lord and our passion for building His House. People may never show their appreciation, or realize the sacrifices you’ve made, but the Lord will never forget your labor of love. Don’t lose heart. If you’ve been feeling unappreciated or overlooked, the Lord always has you on His mind and in His heart. He always rewards those who have been faithful to Him!
