"Your hard work is not worthless," 1 Corinthians 15:58.
What hard work? Living out the new life in Christ. Continuing to love even when people act unlovable. Tolerating each other even when people act intolerable. Forgiving one another even when people act unforgivable. Yielding our freedoms even when people do not deserve our consideration. Using our gifts to help each other grow up into the way of Christ. Serving our Master's will. Submitting to Christ. Keeping on keepin' on. That labor. That toil. That hard work is not in vain. Jesus is coming soon. He's bringing the reward.
We visit a brother or sister today participating together in the work of our Master. And together we give thanks to God for bringing us into his labors of love.
