The Strength

That God

Supplies

Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:8-11

Do the things in glory for God that no one sees. Our Lord sees the good we do in His honor. Often our work is not front and center, but if we do what Jesus wants, it will bring glory to His Father. Use your gifts to serve others. Our task is to work with God’s strength to bring praise and glory to God, not ourselves. The important thing is that God likes what He sees.

No service for Christ goes unnoticed by Him.
