The Narrow Way

I’ve learned that some of the most powerful moments in my life didn’t happen on platforms.
They happened praying in my car.
On long walks with Jesus.
On tear-stained pillows.
In quiet moments when I chose obedience even when no one would ever know.

Heaven honors the hidden.

Because God doesn’t just anoint what’s seen… He anoints what’s surrendered.
And some of the greatest kingdom builders aren’t the loudest voices,
They’re the quietest servants.

They’re the ones who intercede in silence.
Who disciple one soul at a time.
Who show up early and stay late.
Who send the text, bake the meal, hold the hand, give the gift, cover the room in prayer, and never expect a spotlight for it.

Matthew 6:4 says,
“Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Not might.
Will.

That means your hidden obedience is never wasted.
Your whispered yes still echoes in heaven.
Your unseen acts of love are recorded by the only One whose approval matters.

You may feel like what you’re doing doesn’t count,
But I promise you, it does.

That child you keep showing up for?
You’re shaping a world-changer.
That co-worker you keep encouraging?
You’re speaking life into someone barely hanging on.
That neighbor you’ve been praying for?
You’re tearing down walls in the spirit.

You are leaving spiritual fingerprints, on hearts, on futures, on generations.

You might not see the full fruit of it.
But you weren’t called to chase fruit.
You were called to plant in faith.

And here’s the thing:
God loves the hidden places.
That’s where He formed the earth.
That’s where He knit you together.
That’s where He often performs His greatest miracles, where no one else is looking.

So keep showing up.
Keep pouring oil.
Keep washing feet.
Keep saying yes.

You may never get the credit down here,
But heaven is writing a story with your name on it.

Because God doesn’t miss anything done in love.
And in the Kingdom, the hidden things are the holy things.

So if you’re in a season that feels small… don’t despise it.
God does some of His biggest work in small, secret spaces.

Let them overlook you.
Let them underestimate you.
Let them forget your name,
Just don’t forget Who you’re doing it for.

Because one day, when you step into glory,
You’ll hear Him say the words that made every hidden sacrifice worth it:

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”

And that? That’s the only spotlight I’ll ever need.
