He Remembers

Hebrews 6:10

James Sizoo made this comment: "Glamour isn't greatness, applause isn't fame, prominence isn't eminence. The man of the hour isn't apt to be the man of the ages. A stone may sparkle but that doesn't make it a diamond. People may have money but that doesn't make them a success. It's the seemingly unimportant people who determine the course of history. The greatest forces in the universe are never spectacular. Summer showers do more good than hurricanes but they don't get a lot of publicity. The world would soon die but for the fidelity, loyalty, creativity and commitment of those whose names are un-honored and unsung."

You do count in God's kingdom. Listen, "God …. will not forget your work and the love you have shown... as you .. .helped his people." (Heb 6:10) "People look at the outside … the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Sa 16:7 NCV) God knows how hard you have been working behind the scenes caring for others.

Will Rogers is quoted as saying, "We can't all be heroes, somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by." "Don't get discouraged and give up, for (you) will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time" (Gal 6:9 NLT) Remember God keeps his promises.
