22 May 2016 Sunday Service - Rewards

Today in church we learned about the rewards in heaven. It was relieving to know that our earthly momentarily troubles are not comparing to the rewards that we can receive from God. 

Some of us would think that future is some day in the next years of our lives. That future is very finite and limited comparing to the eternal future we can have in Him. 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

The future I was reminded about this verse is infinite and while we long for this eternal future, we are in wait. In the waiting is where our characters are tested. The great thing about the waitinf for this future where we will receive our rewards is that God has put hope in us. He does not let us wait in vain but wait in hope.
