Be Faithful In The small Things....

Today I found myself asking why I even bother doing tasks that seem unimportant and useless to the kingdom of God. I asked myself why I am stuck doing laundry for my mom and baby-sitting my brothers and sisters when there are hungry orphans all over the world and homeless men and women on our very streets. My tasks seem so insignificant and small compared to what I could be doing. But then this verse came to mind..."Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." (Luke 6:10) It hit me that God cares about the tasks that seem petty and small to me. God wants me to work at everything with all my heart as if I were doing it for him. I can do even these small tasks for his kingdom if I am doing it for the glory of God and working at it with all my heart. Mother Teresa puts it this way, "It's not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters." God sees and rewards us for even these small, boring taks. If we are faithful to serve him with the small things, he knows that he can then trust us with the big things.
