Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant


When you go to heaven, do you think that you will have done enough to be able to hear God say, "Well done my good and faithful servant." I want to be able to go to heaven and have a peace about my death because I know I worshipped God until the end. My great grandpa said that he felt bad that he wasn't spending his last days doing more for God even though he was in a nursing home and had done so much for God already. My family later figured out that he had been witnessing to the nurses there. I know that my great grandpa got a well done from God because he wanted to go out with his boots on and never stop living for the Lord. We should be desperate to do more for God and yet we seem to have trouble going to church in the mornings or showing love to the people around us. I was going to do a devotion on forgiveness but I am still working on that myself even though God ,though we turned on him time and time again, still choose to love us and die for us. I want to show that kind of love and forgiveness to everyone I meet. My pastor was talking about how we should determine our journey based on our destination. He said that his destination was when he got to heaven and God said, "Well done my been faithful servant." He said that his journey to get to that destination meant glorifying God in every area of his life no matter what. We can worship God in many ways. Through our prayer, our work, our hobbies, and through loving everyone we meet and sharing that love. I pray that everyone will have done enough to hear God say, "Well done my good and faithful servant."

Side note: Please know that this is to believers and has nothing to do with how to get saved. Being saved is done by believing in Jesus Christ as our one and only savior. This devotion is to those who have believed and already have eternal life in heaven. When you stand before God it has already been determined if you are going to Heaven or not.

Mathew 25:21
His master replied well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your Master's happiness.

1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved Brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Proverbs 3:3-4
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Please listen to these songs and it's lyrics carefully:
Well Done
Proof of You Love

Easter Promise

Today is Easter. The day when we celebrate Jesus conquering death by rising again. If you're like me, you can go numb to the power in that statement. To help, I think of it this way: The Bible says that God is our father. Our Father in Heaven sent His Son, Jesus, to die. Jesus was beaten, mocked, spit on, ridiculed, and then given a crown of long sharp thorns that were beaten into his head. Prior to that, He was under such extreme stress since He knew that all of that was coming that hematidrosis set in. That is when blood vessels rupture in the sweat glands causing Jesus to sweat blood. He went through all of that emotional and physical pain because He loved us to the point of death. If you have heard anyone talk about how they would die for someone because of there love for them, Jesus already did that even though we don't always show Him love in return; Even though the ones He died to save included those who killed Him. That death included whips digging into His back, bei...

What is Love?

     The question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives is, “what is love?” Is it, doing things for others, is it seeming to enjoy being with someone more than just as friends. Is it a sacrifice? Is it 50-50 I do something for you, you do something for me. Is it blind? There are a lot of views and opinions on what love could be and what it isn’t. I think that it’s an important question to be answered especially if we are called to love others. I figure the best way to find the answer to that is to ask love itself. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love.” Now we have added to the question of “what is love”, “who is God?” if we learn more about God we learn more about how to love. The Bible says that God is our Father in Heaven, so is a father's love for their child the perfect love? For some that would make love very difficult and no father-child relationship is the same or perfect so we can’t fully trust our world's imperfect example. I think the best answe...

Guide Of Life

Hey everybody! First off  I would like to apologize for the very late post. I have been in the process of moving and to be honest have been trying to figure out things for myself. My depression has escalated in a way that I am still trying to figure out how to handle. Throughout all of it I am trying to find where my personality went after my anxiety stole it. One thing about depression, at least for me, is that everytime I start to understand it, it changes. It's really draining to be hit with the same thing over and over and yet everytime not know how to cope with it. That is why I haven't posted. I am trying to learn to cope with the depression that is all rooted within my own mind. I get confused on why I cant seem to catch a break in this and so I didnt know how to write about what I learned when I dont even know what to learn yet. It's hard to see the bright side or the knowledge that is to be learned when you are hit head on with all of the trials that come with o...
