Invisibility . . . What mission work often is!

Let him who is taught the Word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is NOT mocked; whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. . . And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Galatians 6:6-9)

If we never doubted, I don't think Paul would have written the words we read above.

 Is the effort worth it? Does anyone notice? Is all my labor in vain? God, do You at least see? 

All human feelings and emotions of hard work seemingly in vain. All we have to do is read a few descriptions of those in the Bible to identify with the frustration of CHRISTian labor. Many were laughed at, jeered, ignored, scorned, beaten, jailed, even killed! Yet we have been influenced by these same testimonies and have come to trust the same God and Savior with our lives! 

Trying as our efforts may be, they are NOT in vain. Lack of support . . . lack of understanding . . . uncaring attitudes . . . taken advantage of . . . never seeming to do enough . . . These are all real feelings.

We have eternity to witness the results.
