To the Person who’s making Progress that no one Recognizes

Keep going, and do not stop. People may not appreciate your little victories, but know that God sees everything that you are doing, and He admires you for your effort and for staying in His presence. Take courage! Because the one who knows you from the inside out recognizes your heart. And He will reward you in His perfect timing. Do not rely on what the people around you are doing. Sometimes, we long for their affirmation, and we feel disappointed every time we don’t receive the words that we wanted to hear from the people we love. But what’s important is that God appreciates all the things that you do for His glory. So focus on the goal and do not stop walking because soon, you will reap the harvest.

Seek validation from God and not from other people. Let your identity be rooted in His love, and listen to His voice. Let His affirmations give you the courage to move forward. Know that with Him, everything is possible. Stop relying on what other people are saying. Just put in your heart that you are growing and learn to acknowledge the simple yet very important victories that you experienced in life. You may feel that your progress is so slow, but deep down, God is transforming your heart. He is building your foundations, so choose to thank Him instead of waiting for other people to recognize you.

You are doing a great job. You are growing. The journey is not easy, but you are still there, standing strong despite all the heartaches and disappointments that you went through. You are changing from the inside out. You may not physically see your growth, but soon you will discover the great things that God is doing behind the scene.  He takes good care of the seeds that you planted, and He makes them grow and prosper. Keep your faith and learn to congratulate yourself. You’ve been through the bumpy roads, but you are trying your best to win. Please know that your efforts will never be wasted in the presence of God.

Just keep moving. Someday, you will arrive at the place that God prepared only for you. There may be days when you feel so alone but remember that it’s going to be worth all the hardships. He is making way for you. He delights in seeing you win the battles that you are facing. He is not blind, so keep doing your best because God is also moving in the midst.
