The following excerpt is taken from the “Imagine Heaven Devotional: 100 Reflections to Bring Heaven to Your Life Today” by John and Kathy Burke.
You may feel like much of your time spent serving others goes unnoticed, or you may feel exhausted as you care for people who need you in ways only you can meet. God sees all of this, and he cares. He notices the acts of kindness and encouragement you give and the time and energy you sacrifice to develop others. Remember, the friendships made here on Earth will continue on in even greater depth of enjoyment in Heaven! You’ll experience the ripple effect of the impact you’ve made on people’s lives, resulting in richer relationships to come. Focus on this as you invest in the lives God has given you today, and let it motivate you to continue to love and serve others as he leads.
