“Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:20 –
A young missionary came home feeling disappointed. “I only led three people to Christ,” he said. Her mentor smiled and showed him a worn journal. “These names are people who prayed for you every day. While you counted results, heaven celebrated your faithfulness.”
Suddenly, his small work felt huge and eternal.
Jesus reminded His disciples, “Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:20). Too often, we measure success by visible results or spiritual victories, but God calls us to something deeper—our identity in Him. Paul echoes this truth: “May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). When ministry feels fruitless or unseen, remember that God’s grace sustains you. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15). This peace is your true strength and victory, beyond any earthly success. Your name is written in heaven, and that is the greatest joy.
A Journey of Reflection and Action
Take a moment to journal about a time when your efforts felt small yet meaningful, reflecting on how heaven might celebrate your faithfulness. Meditate on Luke 10:20 and Galatians 6:14 to anchor your identity in Christ. Share this message with a friend or discuss it with a small group to encourage one another in finding peace amid unseen work.
