There was a cyclist who had a red led light which he used on the back of his bike. It was one of those USB rechargeable ones. He would keep it charged up and then when he rode his bike he would set it to it’s blinking setting so that all the other road users would see him and know that he was there.
The cyclist was pleased with his light. It work well, keeping the cyclist safe on all those dark cold mornings.
The little blinking light knew none of this. It just did it’s task, without missing a beat.
However one day the little light became a bit despondent.
Why am I doing all this blinking?
I don’t see the point of it all.
Sure I like all that recharging, but all that cold and endless blinking is wearing me down.
Why am I bothering with all this?
Should I just stop and not give out my light anymore?
The cyclist, becoming aware of this spoke to the light.
Don’t give up!
I am well pleased with all your efforts.
You’ve served me well keeping me visible and safe on all those cold mornings. You could probably be called a life saver.
Please continue to shine your light and thus keep me safe.
Have you ever felt like the light did?
Why am I doing this?
How much longer should I keep going?
I just don’t see the point!
If you are doing what your meant to be doing then just stick with it. Sometimes we just don’t realise the difference we make.
You could possibly be a life saver without ever knowing it!
Never underestimated the power of your actions when they are done for Father.
Sometimes we might see the results but, sometimes we won’t until a later date. All we can do is to try and give Father our best and leave the “why” with him.
After all, won’t it be the best thing ever to hear him say to you, ….
“Well done good and faithful servant, I am well pleased with YOU.”
