"Self likes to do great things;
but grace teaches us to do little things
with a great spirit for the Lord's sake."
but grace teaches us to do little things
with a great spirit for the Lord's sake."
-John Newton
If you are doing it for the Lord's glory, you do not need your name attached to it. Don't be concerned if your efforts seem to be ignored or even rebuffed. The Lord sees, and He will reward according to your heart. I am convinced from what I have read in the Bible that the greatest among us in eternity will not be the people we frequently heard of on earth. I believe the greatest among us will be the quiet and steadfast servant who worked heartily for the Lord by giving their all doing simple everyday things that earned no recognition or titles.
Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 6:1
