The Ultimate Reveal

Our problem is that we are so short sighted. Unless we are able to put together "all" of the pieces of our lives, we often become overwhelmed and frustrated. Or if we don't understand a few of the pieces, that our puzzle and life is somehow defective. I am just going to face the fact that I will never see or understand the "Big Picture".

I was talking to my wife the other day and we had one of those, "do you remember when we" conversations. No, I did not remember. It was like I had never done that particular thing; but we did, Mary told me we did. I had completely forgotten a nice memory. We can rest assured that any good deed or sacrifice performed for God, or others will be remembered and revealed one day. God never forgets. We would like recognition for the things we do right now. We might do something nice, and it may go unrecognized, but that's alright. Do we do, the things we do, for a pat on the back?

We can rest assured that God sees and knows every sacrifice and effort we put forth and He remembers each one, I mean every seemingly insignificant detail. It matters to Him. He remembers, and will not forget; like I do. One day all of the things we have done will be revealed and there will be a reward for them. So keep on doing your best, not because you want to be promoted to the top of the heap, but because you are trying to please the Lord in every aspect of your life.

Good works, sacrifices, and giving bits of your life away, do nothing to add to your salvation, but it is a means by which God can bless others through us. Those may be some of the pieces of the puzzle we don't see or understand. So it could be that the "missing" pieces of our lives the things we perhaps think of as a failures may be some of our highest achievements; we just don't know what God is doing in us and through us.

He will never forget a single detail. He sees everything and it will be revealed one day in heaven. When you finally understand how your life touched the lives of so many others, you will be amazed. But it won't matter that much; all that will really matter is Him.
