Colossians 3:23, 24
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Volunteers serve the Lord wholeheartedly, and their reward is from the Lord.
I have known of the volunteers who are being used and sometimes insulted in public by the leaders. A volunteer is also a child of God has same value as the leader of the organization.
Volunteers are precious asset in God's work. They work in the background. They have various responsibilities to fulfill without which show will not happened.
- Pay attention who are genuinely volunteering.
- Value them not only in words but also in practical ways.
- Be grateful for them. Don't take their helps for granted.
- Practically support the needy ones in the same manner as other expenses are taken care.
