The Promise Keepers - #6683
God richly rewards the one who keeps his oath even when it hurts. He rewards the promise keepers. Oh, yeah, they're rare, but they are priceless.

Frequent Flyer Benefits - #6582
The greatest benefits go to those who stay with Jesus, no matter what. He has some wonderful blessings, some unspeakable joy, and some tremendous rewards for you if you'll stay faithful for a few more miles. In the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

The Rewards of Not Moving - #6497
Most importantly, follow Christ patiently, doggedly, stubbornly every day for a lifetime. Even when you can't feel anything, when you can't hear His voice, it is the loyal followers of Christ who see Him as nobody else does.

Making it Through the Pain - #6161
You can lose your health, your business, your marriage, you can lose people you love and still not lose heart. How? First, remember these four letters - TTSP. Yep, they stand for, "This too shall pass." Your ordeal is, in Paul's words, "momentary" and "temporary" against the backdrop of your eternity in heaven. It won't always be this way. Secondly, think about the reward for finishing your painful assignment faithfully - "eternal glory."

Reward in the Bible: Hebrews 11:6
God rewards those who serve Him--but those rewards are not always obvious or immediate, at least from a human perspective. We're called to have faith that our service to God is both worthwhile and noticed by Him. We should please Him.

Followers with Footnotes - #5928
Jesus assured Peter he was losing nothing any more than you lose the money you invest in a stock that later goes sky high. In fact, Jesus promises a reward a hundred times any sacrifice you make. What a return! But that kind of reward is reserved for those who give Jesus a blank piece of paper, not a contract.

Stuffed With Junk - #5868
The problem is when "stuff" that should be peripheral becomes central in your life. That's when it's time to reevaluate your priorities. It's time to see your life through God's eyes, and clean out what's not useful - the trivial pursuits.

Cup of water in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Jesus tells us that while we'll certainly receive rewards for welcoming prophets and righteous men, we shouldn't hesitate to do good things like offer cups of water to children. We will still receive a reward for helping those beneath us.

Rewarder in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Before Enoch was taken into heaven by God he was told that he had pleased God. The writer of Hebrews tells us in this passage that without faith, it is impossible to please God, who is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Payoff for the Pain - #3867
But right now you're in practice, and you don't feel very victorious. It hurts. You're under a lot of pressure; you're trying to do what's right but it doesn't seem to be working. And maybe God has trusted you with the assignment to show His joy and His love in the midst of physical suffering. Or perhaps you're paying a price for the stand you're taking. It's tempting to compromise, to back off, maybe to give in to despair, or even to quit.
