When Barnabas came and had seen the grace of /god, he was glad and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. Acts 11:23-26
Joseph, who was called Barnabas by the apostles, which is translated Son of Encouragement, a Levite of Cyprus, had land, sold it, and gave the money to the apostles. Acts 4:36
Barnabas brought Paul to Antioch. Acts 11:25-26
Barnabas was not a major figure in the Bible, but he brought a lot of people to the Lord, taught a great number of people, and helped the work of Paul by bringing him to Antioch.
Barnabas was not a famous person but he played a vital role in God's Kingdom. We need to do our small part for the Lord and not worry about getting the credit. All the glory goes to God anyway. Our small part could help someone else who has a big part.
Dear Lord, please forgive me for thinking I didn't have a big enough part to play. I need to do my small part to the best of my ability that you gave me. Help me to do what you want me to do. Help me to work as unto the Lord, not for man to see me and give me complements but for you and your eternal Kingdom. Thank you Lord.
