God is a true Father. A good father pays attention even to the smallest thing his child does. How much more so our Father in heaven! The smallest thing we do in secret — a small sacrifice, an act of kindness — is noted by God. He treasures it in His heart and, one day, will reward us openly when, as the great Rewarder, He gives everyone his reward at the Last Judgment. Should not God’s love overwhelm us? He rewards us sinners for the smallest act of love and keeps a record of our tears. Remember this love in the darkest hours. Then your trust will know no bounds, just as God’s love knows no bounds. (Matthew 6:4, Psalm 56:8)
