🕯 Line of Duty: Nothing Will Be Wasted

 

Medals for service

In the military a soldier is  given a medal for all kinds of acts.

There are those in the military whose job it is to carefully record and examine how soldiers performed in combat. 

Meticulous files are kept on these acts of extraordinary bravery and risks to one's own life to save another. 

Some military families who lost loved ones in combat 50 years ago are now getting medals years after they died because someone read a report from back then a discovered the soldier was never acknowledged for his actions. 

Soldiers don't go into war thinking I need to get two purple hearts and a medal of honor.

That's not why they serve.

They go in hoping to defeat an enemy and survive what is in front of them.

Then acts of bravery and courage under fire are born of that.

A soldier sees his brother go down, he runs into gunfire to drag his fallen brother out of the line of fire getting shot several times himself. 

Later, as others tell the story, the medals come. You have the Purple Heart, Medal of Honor, etc

What is this about?

Allah sees us. He sees all that we do to serve Him.

His angels watch over every believer. 

They watch over us and RECORD our actions. 

Nothing is left out.

Our actions are recorded and the blessings for those actions already in place.

Some will get medals.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches in Lesson 1 Answer #10  "Each Muslim is required to bring Four devils. And by bringing and presenting four devils at one time, his reward is a button to wear on the lapel of his coat. Also, a free transportation in the holy city Mecca to see brother Muhammad.

"God #MasterFardMuhammad has a way of taking these disconnected pieces of your life that make no sense;

How you suffered,

Who didn't raise you,

Who didn't love you

Who wasn't there for you,

Things that you learned how to do that made no sense, and they seemed like delays

But God sent me here to tell you that Nothing that you've been through will be wasted.

I don't know what that means to you, and I don't know what you and Him been talking about, but He sent me here to tell you that NOTHING that you've been through,

Not one tear that you've shed, 

Nothing that you learned, 

Nobody who left you, 

Nobody who walked out on you

 Nothing you had to endure was wasted.

God is going to use everything that you have been through to get you ready for what He is about to do in your life." @bishopjakes
