“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.”
—Matthew 25:40
Reflection
Caregiving doesn’t feel like ministry, but Scripture tells a different story.
Jesus identifies Himself with the vulnerable, the weak, the hurting, and the dependent.
When you care for your parent or loved one, you are tending to the heart of Christ Himself.
Your ministry isn’t loud or public.
It’s quiet, often tear-stained, and sometimes frustrating.
Yet it is deeply spiritual.
Each task—no matter how ordinary—becomes holy when done with love.
The world may overlook the small, faithful acts of caregiving… but heaven records every one.
Prompt to Reflect
-
Where have I seen God’s presence in caregiving lately?
-
What burdens do I need to surrender today?
-
What small win can I celebrate?
-
How is caregiving shaping my heart?
Prayer
Lord,
Thank You for entrusting me with this sacred work.
On the days I feel unseen, remind me that You see me.
When I feel weak, be my strength.
When frustration rises, calm my spirit.
Help me love well, with tenderness and patience.
And remind me that this quiet, hidden ministry matters deeply to You.
Amen.
