We are doing God’s work

Dear pastor and fellow minister of the gospel,

Isn’t it exciting and amazing to realize we are doing the Lord’s work?! I mean, what you and I are doing matters for eternity. What we are doing will bear fruit even after we are dead and gone from this earth. 

The things we are saying, the lives we are living, the attitudes we are portraying…all of these, if done for the glory of God and if consecrated to Him, will reap a harvest, will lead others to faith and maturity in Christ, and will impact generations.

Many times it doesn’t feel like much is happening. Many times we may doubt our effectiveness. Let this spur us on to more prayer, more intentionality, more creativity and more boldness. But let us not despair: as we surrender to God, our efforts, infused with His power will bring about His purposes, in His timing. 

Let us not worry so much about what things look like from worldly (ungodly) or earthly (temporal) perspectives and instead rest in the knowledge, power and leading of God even as we diligently serve those God places upon our paths.

Christ is with us, Christ is in us!
