“For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.” — Hebrews 6:10 (ESV)
My Child,
I see you.
I see the hours you pour into your work. I see the effort you give when no one else thanks you. I see the way you fight for your family, even when you feel like you’re running on empty. And I want you to know—none of it has been overlooked. Not by Me.
Every sacrifice, every prayer whispered in the dark, every moment you chose integrity over compromise—I have seen it all. And I treasure it. You may not always feel celebrated here on earth, but Heaven records every act of faithfulness.
You wonder sometimes if what you do really matters. Let Me remind you—it matters more than you know. When you show up for your family, you show My love. When you work with honesty, you display My character. When you keep pressing forward, even when you’re weary, you reflect My strength. You are building a legacy, one act of obedience at a time.
I know the weight you carry feels heavy. But hear Me clearly—you were never meant to carry it alone. I am with you. My strength is yours. Lean on Me when you feel weak, and I will lift you. Call on Me when the burden feels too much, and I will sustain you.
Do not believe the lie that you are unseen. You are My son. You are My warrior. You are My chosen one for this family, this season, this place. The world may not notice, but I do. And I am proud of you.
So rise again tomorrow, not in your own strength, but in Mine. Know that your labor is not in vain. Know that your love has not gone unnoticed. And know that your story is still being written—by My hand, for My glory.
Keep walking, son. I am with you. Always.
— Your Father
