For those who work in ministry, you often know how hard it is to see results, and how easy it can be to grow discouraged. Any internet-based work is especially hard to bear visible fruit. Thankfully, I received a message the other night proving the work God has done through me.
It was a Saturday night, and almost nine at night. I got a notification about a comment, and instantly assumed it was spam. I went to the WordPress application on my phone, and realized someone posted this really long comment on my about page. It was amazing!
I had to sit down and set aside time to read it and absorb the words. I made an impact! The words were lovely, and left me praising God for the reminder of His blessings. So often we work and work, unaware of our productivity. Do people read my blog? Is anyone watching my YouTube videos? Is all of this worth it? These thoughts may have hit you once or twice or possibly never, but think about how your work ethic would increase if you knew these answers.
When was the last time you told someone that they made an impact on your life?
We often credit certain people with assisting in changes in our lives, but we hardly let them know. I urge you to tell people about their impact! It makes it so much easier to keep working when you know that you have been successful.
Do you realize that we have made an impact on God? He obviously does most of the work on us, but God saw something beautiful in His creation. Even when we turned our backs, He still had a soft spot for us.
In Jeremiah 31:3, it reads
“The lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’”
The phrase “in the past” can also be exchanged with “from afar,” meaning that God literally is looking at us and thinking “Wow, look at what I have made. They are all so beautiful and life changing. I hope they know just how much I love them.”
If the God of the Universe can remind us of His love, and if someone could take their time to leave me a comment, what else can we do?

Hi Again Trevor,
It was such a blessing to be an encouragement to you with my last note.
Isn’t it just like our loving, living Savior to know the exact area of our lives in which we need to be encouraged, and to give us exactly what we need to bring that encouragement about in our lives? He knows just how to lift up our heads, and just how to pick us back up when we’ve fallen. And HE is so worthy of praise!
No work one does for the purpose of God’s glory will EVER be done in vain. GOD can and WILL do something awesome with every bit of it!
My husband and I have been spreading the word about Vision2Hear. On Sunday we told a deaf young man in the church about you and your videos. Also, have mentioned Vision2Hear to several other people.
By the way, we thought you might like this video:
It’s a live drama of David and Goliath as seen from a child’s perspective. We love watching it! Hope you like it as much as we did. 🙂
Also, thank you for praying for my family. That means a lot to me. 🙂
God bless!
Angie
