We all go through cycles where we wonder if we're making a difference. We can easily feel like we're banging our heads up against an immovable wall trying to accomplish something and think that we should quit wasting our time and just quit. The Apostle Paul wrote to encourage us to be steadfast, to know that work we are doing for the Lord is not in vain. God holds us accountable for obedience to His will, but not for the results. He's more worried about people being faithful in their labors than productive.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
