Pay Offs

"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them"- Hebrews 6:10 (NIV).

When we became Christ-followers, we became servants. In a world that values accomplishments, people seek validation and praise for the work they do. We want plaques and ribbons, bonuses and titles, with the awards being presented in front of colleagues and friends. We want our family to be there, too, so everyone knows that hard work pays off. In truth, this world does not reward most servant deeds. Consider the following: If you need to be praised for a job well done, who needs to feel appreciated or you won't continue the work, then becoming a servant will be much harder for you. Servants are overlooked, pushed to the back, and unrecognized. If this world is not rewarding your service, rest assured that God is faithful and will reward you one day for a job well done. Hard work does pay off, in the end, for a servant. Continue the work God has given you.
