You’re doing a good job!
The interviews, phone calls, emails, and arranging of calendars… The prayers, copies, and helping people find their place in the family of God… The laundry, feeding your family, and changing the car’s oil… All of it is seen. Sometimes we can get lost in the process of our processes and forget that God is watching. We can forget that what we do is really for the glory of God – the menial and the magnificent.
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her:
“You are the God who sees me,” for she said,
“I have now seen the One who sees me.”
Genesis 16:13
When was the last time we – men and women alike – experienced the deep appreciation and wonder of Hagar when she realized that the God of the universe cared about her, saw her efforts, and responded with love toward her? She didn’t make one step outside of God’s watchful eye. Even when she ran, he sent his angel to encourage her and set her on the right path again. As a slave – a female slave – it was a miracle to be seen, let alone to be seen by God.
To be seen is powerful.
May I remind you that you are seen? Your work is precious to him because of the heart with which you complete it. Whatever you set your hands to he is pleased with, because you do it to honor him. And you are seen not just for the work you do, but as the beloved children that you are. You are doing a good job! “Good,” as in quality and “good,” as in ordained. He has given you a good work to complete in a good way.
You are seen! You are appreciated. You are cherished. And…
You are adored.
You Are Adored
