God won't forget your love for Him, how hard you have worked for Him and the honor you've brought to His name. He knows how you have ministered to His people and how you continue to do so.
Hebrews 6:10
I just want to encourage those who labor in the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The average minister spends much of their lives giving to others through prayers, intercession and serving. We minister to the needs of others when things are fantastic in our lives and we minister to others needs when we are going through personal storms, fatigue and crisis ourselves.
In times of personal weariness and trauma, we need to remember that God's mind and thoughts are tender and loving toward us. His attention and compassion is being poured out on us to bring us strength and comfort. We sometimes look back and wonder how we were able to go through crisis and still maintain our ministry responsibilities, but we must remember that He knows how hard we work for Him and serve His people with a willing and diligent heart, although ours may be breaking.
Father remembers how we bring honor to His name and speak of His goodness and deliverance, all the while being hit by the arrows of the enemy. It is in this place that the Holy Spirit speaks to our spirit and He sends forth His word that, "no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
In Psalms 55:22 it says, "I will cast my burdens on the Lord and He will sustain me. He will not forget those who try to do right. He never allow the righteous to be moved." Awesome promise!
Give your burdens and issues to the Lord and remember that you are never alone. The suffering we go through is being experienced by other servants of the Lord as well. There is no private suffering that we go through that our co-laborers are not going through as well.
Take God at His word, thanking and praising Him for giving us His word to keep us during times of sorrows, sufferings and trials. We will be able to bless and serve others as we keep the promises of God in our hearts, that He keeps His word concerning us.
Live and prosper, men and women of God. Feed on His word concerning you and remember that He is the Bread of Life. He is our sustainer, comforter, healer, deliverer, strength, helper and advocate. The things we go through are to bring us into maturity and to assist us in ministering to the needs of other. God comforts us and we comfort others. God bless you as you continue to serve God and His people, standing on His strength and moving in His love. He remembers how much you love and honor Him.
