we just don't it. Sometimes we wait for a tragic situations to turn us into understanding the things of God: we all know the Bible says that we are supposed to love one another as ourselves but we don't, we wait for when we lose them to start loving on them.
Knowledge without understanding is just as good as foolishness. Without understanding we deceive ourselves by filling-in the blanks. Sometimes it's not that we don't know what God is asking of us, we know the right thing to do but because of our self-deception (or foolishness)
God sees everything. He’s keeping the records. The scripture says, “What you do in secret, God will reward in the open.” Don’t worry if you’re not getting credit. Don’t get discouraged if people don’t thank you. God sees your sacrifice.
If you’ll stay in faith, keep being your best, you’re going to come into your “after this.” You’ll say, “After the layoff, I got a better position. After they walked away, I met someone better. After the storm, I came out stronger.”
