IS IT WORTH IT?

In my morning devotions Wednesday, I came across a great verse in 1 Corinthians 15. The way it is expressed in The New Living Translation I find particularly helpful. "So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless." (1 Corinthians 15.58)

"Nothing we do for the Lord is ever useless." What a reassuring promise! So often we labor and wonder if our efforts are worth the effort. Or what we do appears unnoticed and under-appreciated. The Lord sees and knows and heaven applauds our faithfulness and heart.
