When No One Sees What You’re Building

Scripture:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” — Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Devotional:
There’s a sacred kind of exhaustion that comes from doing the work no one sees.

Wiping tears. Cooking meals. Speaking prayers only God hears.
Grieving the child you lost—or the one you long to hold.
Mentoring a young heart that isn’t biologically yours but has become yours just the same.

So much of our faithfulness happens in places that don’t get posted, shared, or celebrated.
And it’s easy to wonder: Does this even matter?

But the truth is: the invisible work is often the most eternal.
Because the Kingdom of God is built in hidden places—in small yeses, unglamorous moments, and love that outlasts applause.

If what you’re building today feels unnoticed… Heaven sees.
And Heaven still says: Well done.

Prayer:
Lord, help me believe that what’s unseen is still sacred.
When my hands are full, or when they feel painfully empty—remind me that You are near.
You see every tear, every act of love, every seed I plant.
Help me trust that in Your time, and in Your way, You will bring the growth. Amen.
