A Timely Response

I had basically complained through my last entry. Oh well, amazing how God works, for He has spoken out of the blue. Its not very often that I receive responses from God that are very specific to my state of being. Just last Sunday, my QT passage was from Col 3:18-26. I quote the short commentary by the author of the QT material:

"It's discouraging when we do something that costs us a great deal, or goes well, but remains unnoticed or unappreciated. We can conclude there's little point putting in the effort if nobody cares. However, understanding that Jesus closely observes everything we do surely provides us with the motivation to persevere.... Other people's approval is pleasant, but is not what we should be seeking. Instead, ask God to give you a tangible sense of His delight in you now."

If this is not God speaking, then what is?? Yes, I find much solace and encouragement in this timely response from God.
