YOU ARE DOING A GOOD WORK

Ephesians 6:8 tells us: “Whatsoever GOOD thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive the Lord.”

 
Dear mother, I want to remind you that you are doing a GOOD work. God tells us in Titus 2-5 that the “GOOD” things the older women must teach the younger women are all about the home—loving your husband, loving your children, and being a keeper at home. When you embrace this lifestyle God planned for you, you are doing a GOOD work.
 
When you nurse your baby, teach your children, prepare the meals, clean, and keep your house in order you are doing GOOD things.
 
Some translations call them "beautiful" things.
 
1 Timothy 5:10 also describes the woman in the home--embracing and nurturing children, showing hospitality, and ministering to the needy. Once again it says these are “GOOD works.”
 
And what does God say when you do these good things He wants you to do? You receive your reward from the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Be encouraged today. As you pour your life into building your marriage and your family, it is never wasted. God sees every effort. And you will not miss your eternal reward.
 
Live in the joy of knowing you are doing a good work,
 
Nancy Campbell
