I believe there is no better choice of a word when it comes to the benefit we receive from serving God with our hearts and lives.
The gift given for service rendered to His Kingdom.
The goal set for us to make it through this life.
The prize that keeps us going towards the finish line.
The bounty exceeding our hopes and dreams.
The award given for a job well done, not necessarily a job done perfectly.
For a faithful, God honoring Christian, our reward is great. Greater than we can imagine. Greater than we can hope.
