Labouring in the shadows

Hebrews 6:10 (KJV)
    For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Everyone likes to be appreciated for the work they have done, everyone likes some thanks for a job well done. Even if it is just a pat on the back we all love being told that what we have done has been recognised and our hard work was not in vain.

What this verse is saying though is that it does not matter what appreciation or thanks you get here on Earth in this life because God see's everything we do. Not just that but He will reward us for our works that were unheard and unseen in this life. These acts that no one finds out about are the kind of actions Jesus Himself would have done, because they were needed not because He would gain from the. Let us be like Christ and labour in the shadows of this world.
