God rewards the tiniest of things we do for one another.
“He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward” (Mathew 10:41-42).
We are asked to be faithful in small things, but receive rewards as though we have done great things. Part of the reason for that is because we are powerless to see the true value of what God has given us to do. He hides it from us so that we will not become puffed up.
The other reason is because the things that happen have nothing to do with our abilities, but what God has chosen to do through us. All glory belongs to him; none to us.
