What God Prizes

Sometimes it feels like the work we're trying to do for God is hardly making a drop in the vast ocean of need...I felt this way this week...and then a friend sent me a reminder that I thought I'd pass on.

"It is not the great results we attain, but the motives from which we act, that weigh with God. He prizes goodness and faithfulness more than the greatness of the work accomplished." 2T 510-511

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

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Cor 15:58

  1. Thanks for that. It is so true. Our ideas of success and heaven's idea of success are not always the same. Heaven measures it by faithfulness.

    May we all be found to be faithful in THAT day...
