Real Reward
I once heard a story about a father who inquired of his son when he planned to purchase a much-needed automobile. "When God sends my one hundred fold," the son replied. Then he explained, "Recently I gave a gift of $50. When God sends my reward I'll have $5000 and can buy my car." When he realized his son was serious, the father responded, "God is already sending you your reward. It comes every two weeks, and it is called salary." It is time we Christians stop and assess what we really believe about prosperity. A life lived for the glory of God is its own reward.
