A REWARD FROM GOD



"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."


Matthew 6:19-20


Here is a young man, who is willing to donate his kidney for free to anyone who needs a kidney transplant. He said, he is unemployed but insisted that he does not want a financial reward for donating his kidney. His restricted financial situation has helped him realize that instead of being greedy, he should help those in need. The only reward he is seeking is God's blessing.

God is interested in our hearts, not just our actions. He promises to meet our needs and often rewards our generosity. However, he does not always reward us financially. Oftentimes, the refreshment He gives is spiritual--something much more precious than money.
