Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.”— Matthew 5:12 —
Sarah, a young nurse, worked long, exhausting shifts at a crowded hospital, facing daily emotional strain. One evening, as she rested, an elderly patient, grateful, simply said, “Thank you… you helped me more than you know.” Sarah’s eyes welled up—not from exhaustion, but from the sudden realization that her sacrifice had made a difference. In that moment, the burden felt profoundly worth it.
Jesus’s words in Matthew 5:12 offer a profound truth. Like Sarah, the weary nurse who found renewed purpose in a simple “thank you,” our daily sacrifices and the burdens we carry in serving God and others hold immense value. Every act of love and perseverance in faith contributes to an eternal reward that far surpasses any earthly struggle. So find joy in your service today. Your steadfastness is not in vain; it is building up something immeasurable in heaven, where God Himself honors what the world may overlook.
