Jesus said, “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you a ruler over many things.” Matthew 25:23

Great success and large numbers are celebrated as the media shines a spotlight on their version of what success in life means. That’s what makes God’s economy so very interesting. The entire universe belongs to God, yet in scripture we find over and over again that God celebrates the little things the most. Christ came as a poor carpenter, not a wealthy king. He chose fishermen and common laborers as His disciples. He celebrated kindness and thoughtfulness in asking us to love our neighbor as we would ourselves. In the case of today’s verse, a servant was faithful with the small amount of money entrusted to him, and was rewarded as a result. We can learn much from this example.

Celebrate The Little Things In Life

Mother Theresa once said of the little things, “If you can’t do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can’t do them with a little love, do them anyway.” That’s amazing advice for us today. Why not give it a try. A small kindness given away each day will enrich your life more than you can ever imagine.
