Five Minute Friday ~ Notice

Sometimes we do so many things and we think that no one notices us, that no one really appreciates what we do and how we do it. Sometimes we think we are doing it for nothing because it all goes unnoticed.


But what we do is not going unnoticed, it is not being taken for granted. God notices us. God sees our efforts. God sees our hardwork. He sees the effort that we put into it. Even though we think that no one appreciates us, God does.

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV)

God appreciates us and He appreciates our serivce unto Him. That's what it is! It is service unto Him and not unto man. When we recognise that what we do is for God, we no longer need to search for appreciation from man. Everything should be done for His glory and for His name.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:9-10 (NKJV)

Don't grow weary in well doing. Don't get tired of what you are doing. Don't say that it is not worth it because it is worth it to God. He sees it as important and He sees it as a demonstration of the love that we have for Him.

Don't give up because you think no one is noticing you. 

God notices you.

  1. Thank you for sharing this very important reminder. I loved reading the verses from Galatians and Ephesians. I needed this encouragement today! I am stopping by from five minute Friday.

  2. Stopping by from FMF! Love this line: "When we recognise that what we do is for God, we no longer need to search for appreciation from man. Everything should be done for His glory and for His name." This is something I know to be true for me, that when I do it for the Lord and His glory and don't look for what's in it for me, I can put it out there and walk away smiling. I don't need to check stats. It's in His hands anyway, and that's not my concern. Thanks for your post!
