Tireless Effort

“For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly....” Romans 12:4-6

“And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then while we have the opportunity, let us do go to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” Galatians 6:9-10

”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:58

Imagine being a honey bee. You go out every day to find nectar and gather as much as you can carry & fly back to the hive - many times from sunrise to sunset. And you do this every day of your life. If you had to work alone at this task, think about this: to make one pound of honey, one bee would have to fly 50,000 miles, more than twice the distance around the globe. A single teaspoon of honey in six weeks is a bee's entire lifetime. As a Christian, you must keep working faithfully, knowing your individual contribution is more important than you will ever know when combined with those around you. Don't give up.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
