“Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”- Pope John Paul II
Don’t ever think that the good you do is futile. It is not. It has shaped you, it has helped you become who you are. It is still moulding you to become even better than before.
Don’t ever think that because you see you no fruit yet, that there will be none. Because there will be. And there are fruits now, ripening within you. There will be other fruits, and all because of what you’ve done.
Don’t ever think that all is lost because you’re alone. You are not. The Lord who sees everything sees what you do, and when you can no longer walk, He will carry you!
But I said, “I have laboured in vain.
I have spent my strength in vain for nothing;
yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD,
and my reward with my God.”
-Isaiah 49, WEBBE
