WEDNESDAY, January 20 (Fabian of Rome)

Even on the worst days of our lives, at our worst moments, as long as we are committed to serving the saints, to showing God's love for God's sake, God will bless us.

We are not called to be the best there ever was. We are simply called to do and give our best in every moment. Some days, what we do and what we give will be marvelous, wonderful, incredible even. And we know that God surely will bless us then, for we will have done such a grand job of it!

But the same holds true even on our worst days, when what we have to offer, when what we do, isn't good at all, when we can feel in our bones that what is happening isn't up to snuff. As long as we are doing the best we can at that given moment, God will bless us as well.

We are not called to be perfect; we are not called to be better than all the rest. God asks only that we give the best we can at every moment.

For God has promised not to overlook our work and love.
