17 But, brothers, when we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. 18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan stopped us. 19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? 20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
The Apostle made it plain and clear; everything he did was on account of the church.
Their is no greater satisfaction than to know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Not often do we see the fruits of our labor. Some have served the Lord their entire life and have not seen the harvest for which they have longed.
Our work for the Lord is never in vain.
The impact of our work for Him may never be known UNTIL we stand before Him.
Oh the joy of seeing those around the throne of glory that came to know Christ because of something; some work; some effort that we have done.
Its all for you
