Would that God tomorrow bring us in front of His throne, what would He say? Would He cast us from His presence or would He look at all we have done and grant us a reward for our faithfulness?
“And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’”
(Matthew 25:20-21)
As God is holy, we ought to be holy in Christ Jesus’ holy and righteous name. For as one body, through God’s grace, He has given us individual gifts, according to His will, so that we should bless others with good works.
How great a day it will be when God gives us our reward for all the good we have done; no one can claim it for oneself, but God will give it freely, without limit; for from God, good flows and from God, we shall receive our reward.
Love all so that joy and peace may abide in us. Be patient with one another, allowing kindness and goodness to flow freely. Be faithful to God, showing gentleness and self-control. For one day, God will say to us, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
I’m sure God will say that to Paul.
We will certainly see Paul when we come before God. Bless you always.
In agreement with the other readers, yes, it is a very timely message. Our walk is daily and we look forward to His rewards being doers of the Word and not hearers only. Thank you for sharing.
May that day come soon when we will praise God in the presence of His throne room. God bless!
This message can never be repeated too much. Intent to be of service to others will go unfilled if we procrastinate. Praise God for his patience with us!
Serving God with humility is our way of praising Him for all the good He has done for us. Our joy is knowing we will be with the Lord forever!
I shall stand behind Yeshua and our Creator Father shall see Him instead of me, my only hope for spending eternity with Him. I do hope and believe that Father will be pleased with whatever Yeshua pulls out of His pockets as my good deeds, because I can not do any good deeds unless our Redeemer is involved and helps with producing them. I believe He holds them in His huge and deep pockets(in hopes that He needs that much space) of His robe, not sure if its a Robe Of Righteousness as He IS righteousness, but pockets none the less. Or maybe He keeps them in a box. I would hope its a decorative box, but its all good, so no worries if its not. Just as long as He keeps them somewhere for later viewing, right?
We will all one day stand before our Father and give an account for our lives. Our reward is waiting. We can look forward to that day, as it will be a day of joy and glory for us!
Such an important message and reminder that we all need to encourage/inspire us to do what Jesus had done and would be doing now. Thank you 🙏
May God’s grace and peace be with you always, Kathleen!

Amen!!

May God be with you always.
