A God Who Rewards

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and
your labor of love, which ye have shown toward His name,
in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 
Hebrews 6:10 

Because it is Thanksgiving, I only had to work for a short while...

So I had most of the day for myself. And being that the weather was nice after almost a week of rain, dampness and fog, I was able to stay outdoors for several hours. It felt good to be in the fresh air.

However, during a time of Bible reading before breakfast, I was especially encouraged by the above verse from the New Testament book of Hebrews. Even though I serve the Lord out of love and, hopefully, with pure motives (for only God knows my heart), I was reminded that He has rewards prepared for those who've given their lives to helping others in His name.

I, of course, like my fellow Christians, do not serve the Lord with the desire to get paid. Yet He was indeed promised to repay all who have labored for Him. And besides this, God is the one who is working through His people in the first place. My body is simply to be a willing vessel for His use.

Jesus is a generous King. One day, according to the holy Bible, He will pay His servants handsomely. Even the smallest of deeds will never go unnoticed by His watchful eyes.

D.B.
