The Good You Are Doing

by | Sep 4, 2014 | Encouragement, Love Others

My son, who is a high school senior, has had a great start to his school year. We’re only a couple weeks into it, but he’s already setting the tone for how the rest of the year should go.

I couldn’t be more proud. I told him so last evening.

“The good you’re doing, and the smart choices you’re making are not going unnoticed. Your dad and I are proud of how you are beginning your senior year.”

He may think all those good things are going unnoticed, but they aren’t. Not only are his dad and I noticing, but I also believe the school administration is noticing. His teachers are noticing. His friends are noticing. Underclassmen are noticing. He’s being a good example for others to follow.

(Remember my prayer at the beginning of the school year for our children and for us as parents? God is answering.)

Like my son, I imagine you’re doing lots of good in your life as well. The ways you bless others. The ways you encourage others. (The ways you encourage me!) The things you do to make another’s life easier. They small things you do that are big things to other people. You bless your children. Your spouse. Your neighbors. Your co-workers. Your boss.

You may think all those things are going unnoticed, but they aren’t.

The good you are doing is not going unnoticed.What about the positive steps you’re taking to better your life or someone else’s? Eating healthier. Exercising. Getting more rest. Drinking more water. Helping a friend through a difficult time. Working overtime to help a co-worker or your boss.

Those aren’t going unnoticed either.

Every little thing you do matters. You are making a difference. And even if you don’t think anyone is paying attention, someone is. Someone is noticing what you’re doing. Someone is watching. You are influencing another’s life in a good and positive way. You are being a good example for another to follow.

And the One who really notices is the One who created you to do those things. He notices every little thing you do. That’s when the real reward comes… When the things we do aren’t in the spotlight to others, but they are most certainly in the spotlight with God.

Keep doing good, my friend. Keep being a blessing. Keep encouraging. Keep making a positive impact. Don’t you dare stop.

Someone needs your good today.

May God bless you richly as you continue doing good!

Julie

Some women believe surrendering is stifling, or restrictive, or demeaning. Nothing could be more untrue.

When we surrender our will and lives to Jesus, it's then when we find true, abundant life.

What's one area of life you can surrender into His capable hands today?

I used to think surrender was scary.
Now I know what’s really scary…
Me in charge of everything. 😂

Surrender isn’t giving up—it’s getting peace.
Getting direction.
Getting the abundant life I couldn’t create on my own.

Here’s your permission to stop carrying what you weren’t meant to hold. 🙌

Are we holding on tightly or letting go?

Abundant life is a free life- living, breathing, and trusting God has everything under control.

Comment AMEN if you agree.

I hear numerous women say they want to grow their relationship with God, but they aren't sure where to begin.

Sound familiar? 

It's not complicated or difficult. Try these rhythms for yourself and watch your relationship with God grow.

Which one speaks the most to you?

Control was never meant to be our burden. 😬

We'll allow God to be in charge instead. (Because really, who are we fooling thinking we're in control, anyway?) 😉

Just a reminder…

Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity, your title, your home, or your highlight reel.

You are valuable because you belong to the One who made you.

That’s it. That’s everything. 💛

You don’t have to do more, be more, or rush harder to live fully.

Sometimes abundant life is hidden in the slow, ordinary moments—
where peace meets presence and grace waters your soul.

✨ This moment? It counts.
