If we are honest about it we don't always enjoy certain aspects of Christian service such as cleaning the loos at church, serving when we are tired and blessing those who ignore your kindness or treat you poorly. Serving Jesus can be costly emotionally, financially and in our time. There are times when we wonder if it is all worth it. Let me say, it is, because we are serving the King of Kings and Jesus Himself came to serve and not to be served. We must follow His example.
There are times when serving Jesus is really rewarding and we can see real results for our effort. These times can seem few and far between. This is because we often invest and minister to people, who take time to change and grow. The results often are not instantaneous or can't be measured.
Just remember on the days when you have spent time, effort and tears serving your best that God sees everything. Remember it is an honour to serve the King of Kings. In Galatians 6:9 it tells us not to be weary in doing good as in the right time you will reap a reward (my paraphrase). Don't get tired of doing the right thing. A season of blessing is coming your way so keep sowing, keep faithful and keep working hard as your efforts will be rewarded.
