Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. — Gal 6:9 BSB

If we could only glimpse the eternal results that spring from the smallest acts of faith, we would consider every sacrifice and labor as a privilege. We would no longer speak of trials and sacrifices for God, but of unspeakable opportunities.

Even the smallest seed of faith is an indestructible germ that will one day cover the earth with a harvest of eternal glory. Lift up your head, beloved—the horizon is wider than you can see. We are living, suffering, and laboring not just for today, but for the ages to come. Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we will reap if we do not give up. One day, with tears of joy, we will cry, "Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You!"

Help me today to live with the perspective of eternity, walking on earth with the heart of one already in heaven.
