It is a good feeling to be admired, to be noticed by people, to be heard. But more than pleasing other people and trying to meet their expectations, let us keep in mind the more important things – things like doing the right thing even when no one is looking, or of doing what is right even when people won’t or can’t immediately understand. Even when others can’t appreciate the good that we do, let us be happy in knowing that God always sees what’s in our hearts. With God, what matters is not how we appear to be, but who we really are deep within.
“Don’t look for success in fame, for it is the prayer in silence which is most dear to God.” (Read – Are You Reaching For a Dream?)
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
