It is Noted

 And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6:4 ESV)

 All that you gave in secret, or that was not acknowledged or recognized in this life, will be rewarded openly. As the saying goes, “Nothing the heart gives away is lost; it is kept in the hearts of others.”

In this case, not only has your giving and sacrifice been kept in the hearts of those you gave to and sacrificed for, but most of all, it is kept in My heart.

 It is noted by Me, recorded in the heavenly annals of your life’s achievements, and added to My “must reward, honor, and celebrate” list. I do not miss a thing, not even the tiniest prayer for others or any kind word that you speak.

 I consider each kind act or word and each witness you give as being of immense value, and I am meticulous in My record-keeping. Nothing is missed.

 One day, you’re going to find that many of the things that will be celebrated in the next life are things you had forgotten about, or that had seemed so small and insignificant that you had brushed them aside as inconsequential. But nothing escapes My eye. —Jesus [1]

 No gift is too small to give, nor too simple to receive, if it is chosen wisely and given with love. —Franz Kafka
