The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I hold you tightly in this time, though you sometimes do not feel Me near. But I Am always at work even when you don’t see any movement of My Spirit in your lives. Days come and days go and you wonder if I Am doing anything with your life in My kingdom, and even so, you continue your walk faithfully. My loves, if you could see the impact you are having on those around you, you would rejoice, for I Am using you in mighty ways. Even when you smile at someone you are sharing My love. When you help your neighbor with something as small as picking up a piece of trash in their yard, you are showing My love. When you invite a friend into your home for a meal, you are showing My love. When you give of your time to help someone in need, or you provide some small thing, all of these are acts that begin in your heart, and this shows that your heart belongs to Me. Never stop doing good, for at the appointed time, you will reap what you sow, and when you sow bountifully, I assure you that you will reap abundantly.
Gal 6:1-10 (ESV) Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load. 6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
(John 15:16; 1 Cor 15:58)
