When God wants to do something for you he will go to any heights

“Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.” (Acts 10: 4 NIV)

What you do does not go unnoticed by God. Cornelius was a Roman centurion who loved God, prayed, and gave alms to the poor and other good deeds. God wanted to bless him so that he could reach his full potential in faith and have the hope of eternal life by knowing Christ; to be baptized and to receive the Holy Spirit. Previously, Gentiles like him who did not follow Jewish laws were not accepted into the Christian faith. God sent an angel to tell Cornelius that his good deeds had reached God and to seek out Peter so that he would learn for himself the whole truth. Consecutively, God caused Simon Peter to have a vision demonstrating to him that no person was unclean in God’s eyes.

David wanted to build a temple for God. But even though God did not want David to be the one to build the temple for him, he blessed him just for the wish to do it. God told him “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.” (2 Samuel 7:16)

The good you have done has not gone unnoticed by God and he will also bless you. Keep the faith.
