“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love…in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (Hebrews 6:10).
Sometimes, when we do something for people, they take it for granted, and do not even bother to thank us. My wife and I often send a wedding present to a newly married couple, and occasionally they do not send us a thank you note, or even let us know that they received it safely. On another occasion a woman and her teenage son had a flat tire in front of our home, and neither of them knew how to change a tire. I happily did it for them, but again, they just drove off and did not bother to say thank you.
This verse tells us that when we do something for a fellow Christian, it is really done for the Lord, and He will not forget. Even if the other Christian does not say thank you, the Lord will remember it, and will reward us in a coming day. God has already done so much for us by sending His Son to die for us, but then He rewards us for any little thing that we do for Him. What a gracious God we have!
