"So, you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'we are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' "
Probably not the most quoted verse, but I have been thinking about it none the less. Some days can be a hard as a mother, as I am sure you can attest too. There are many thankless days. Yet, hospitality, submission, providing, encouraging, respecting, teaching, admonishing, disciplining, correcting, these are things I am told to do by our Lord Jesus. I actually should find joy in doing these things that God has been deemed me worthy to entrust me with! And I shouldn't need praise for doing the very things I was told to do, it just is my duty! Not that I am against a little pampering here or there or a thank you, but I should not need those things. Getting to serve Jesus by serving those around me and doing tasks ordained by God are a blessing in themselves! Lord develop in me a servant heart like you.
