Matthew 10:42 “And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”
In life we may go through with no one appreciating anything that we do. Doing all the chores, taking care of our families, even extended families and yet all this seems to go unnoticed. In the home you may seem to be a shoulder always available to cry on; you may seem to be helping everybody else experience the best life has to offer and no one seems to notice. Take courage in knowing that there is someone who cares. He notices even one who gives water to a thirsting child. His message is, ‘You shall not lose your reward.’ His name is Jesus.
Jesus is so sweet you know. Nothing passes by without Him noticing. If a glass of water will be recompensed, what more one who stays up late taking care of an ailing child; what more the one who will sacrifice ‘me time’ and make sure that the family is happy; what more one who will give a helping hand even though she does not get to be paid; what more one who will go the extra mile, even staying up late to make sure that she puts a smile on her ungrateful in-laws; what more one who for the sake of peace will suffer reproach; what more for the one who is faithful even when no one sees; what more for the one who stands up for the right even if it will cost her dearly.
Day in day out, our patience is tried but let us be faithful in the least of things and God will not ignore. No act of kindness will fail to be recognized and rewarded. That which has been considered trivial here will appear as it is – worthy of a reward from God. Just do your humble duties faithful. Your reward is guaranteed.
God bless you.
