Doing Good.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9

We all fight it at times. We give of ourselves to the point of wondering what is the point! Whatever our calling in life is it is constant. We wipe a nose, we drive the car, we wait up at night, we cook dinner, we pay bills, and on and on we give. And many times it is not only our children that don’t seem to notice all of our giving and selflessness. It is also co-workers, neighbors, church members, etc. But we must remember one thing.

Christ gave the ultimate selfless gift. He gave His life.

We do good because He teaches us to.

We do not do good to be thanked, or noticed, or recognized.

We do good to allow His love to pour out of us and into other’s lives.

And when we focus on this reason for doing good we will continue to do it not matter how little we are thanked. We will do good to others to bring a smile to Jesus’ face and to bring others to a saving knowledge of Him. Even a simple act of kindness can be of great witness for the cause of Christ. He gave to people that did not thank Him. He spent His entire earthly ministry serving and giving and He even tells a story in Luke 17 about forgiving and serving and not being thanked. So, today, I want to encourage you, and myself, to do good, to serve others, and to love them in the name of Jesus. And don’t get tired of it when you aren’t thanked or recognized. Remember, we are doing it to please Christ and He sees all that we do and the heart that we do it with.

I love you dear sisters. No go do good!
