“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” -Hebrews 6:10

God never forgets. And that’s a good thing. For those who love and serve him, remember he sees every effort you make. From a friendly smile to a stranger to the time you helped the person locked out of her car, God sees it and remembers it.

What I appreciate most about the words of Hebrews 6:10 is that work and love for God are directly connected with helping others. When we serve those in need, we serve Christ. This is the same message of Matthew 25, that whatever we do for the “least of these,” we are doing it for Jesus himself.

That homeless guy you saw on the way to work? Helping him is helping Jesus. Your coworker who needs an encouraging word. That’s helping Jesus, too. Giving to sponsor a child on the other side of the planet to offer food and education, that’s Jesus you’re sponsoring. Serving others is serving Jesus.

If so, how are you serving Jesus today?
