It’s easy to get upset when it seems that others, less worthy, get the honors you deserve; unless you have a humble spirit.
Nobody knows this better than Jerry Kramer, an all-time pro-football great with Green Bay Packers. Kramer, by any standard, was among football’s greatest players, but it took 45 years for the Hall of Fame to recognize his life work.
He played 11 seasons, which included 130 games. He was a part of three Pro Bowl Teams and the 1960s All-Decade Team.
Despite all of the records he broke, the Hall of fame skipped over him for others. He was nominated 10 ten times and let down ten times.
Anyone else would have been bitter, but he was thankful for all of the other others he received over the years.
However, some didn’t forget his work and in 2018 he was nominated for the 11th time, and this time he was immortalized in the Hall of fame.
Often what we do for God seems insignificant. It is often ignored.
We often watch others receive credit and praise for lesser contributions that we have made.
We may get passed over down here, but God sees what we do. He will reward us with a “well done” and our work will be immortalized in heaven’s hall of fame.
Proverbs 14:30 says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”
Don’t envy others who may be taking credit for your work; It’ll make you sick. Be happy that God knows what you do, and that’s all that counts.
Welcome to the Hall of Fame
