I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
I see everything you're doing, your love for others, how you serve people, your faith, and how you keep going even when things get hard. And honestly? You're getting better at it, not worse.
God notices your growth and sees you leveling up in love, service, and faith.
