Don't think for a moment that believers in the Messiah are meant to be liked, appreciated, loved, or listened to by the world. In fact, the Bible says that as we approach the last days, the love of many will grow cold, and even in the church, people will not seek truth but will have itching ears, chasing what pleases them. We are here to make a difference for the few who have an ear to hear what the Spirit says. We should not grow weary in doing good. Big numbers are not a measure of success—faithfulness is! When we meet the Lord one day, He won’t say, “Well done, famous and successful,” but rather, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
As the world plunges into deeper, wider, and nastier chaos, we must remember that we were never promised a garden of roses in these last days. We are called to run the race, fight the fight, and keep our faith! The crown of righteousness awaits all who have loved His appearing. Faithfulness in how we live and holding fast to the blessed hope of eagerly awaiting His return—these are what we must strive for.
