I desire my reward to be in heaven and not on earth. I pray we do not loose heart and continue to persevere. I hope to lay up my treasure in heaven and not here on planet earth. Please join me.
I don’t want to receive applause from man. I’d rather have a reward / REWARDS in heaven. I don’t believe there is anything wrong with having a desire for rewards in heaven. God knew our humanness and how to reach us. He also made sure we knew about rewards through His Word. Also, God would like to bless us.
I love favor more than silver and gold. The Scripture tells me so.
A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1 WEB)
Jesus teaches us to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven. I think the treasures Jesus refers to may be much more precious than silver or gold.
“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(Jesus speaking in Matthew 6:19-21 WEB)
