Well done, good and faithful servants

The Bible verse “Well done, good and faithful servant” appears in Matthew 25:23. In this verse, a master praises his servant for being faithful with a small amount of money, and then gives the servant more responsibility. 

The verse reads, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” 

I have always liked this verse. As an officer I held it close to my heart when things were tough.  I imagined through every tough time and times of trials the Lord saying this. It gave me strength to go on another day.
