What this verse means
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. — Matthew 25:21
It wasn't the big achievement that was praised, but 'being faithful in the little things.' To you, holding on to the small thing today, the words 'you're already doing well' are turned your way.
