Beyond our imagination

Eye has not seen‚ nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV)

  So we know that He has some very wonderful things in store for us—beyond our imagination, dreams, or what we expect.
 It’s encouraging to remember that regardless of how hard the trials and difficulties of earth and the sacrifices we make in our lives for Him may be, He has a reward that will make it worth it all.
 He said one time, “When I pay you back to the point where you don’t feel that you’ve made a sacrifice, that’s where it has only reached one percent of your reward. My promise is to repay a hundredfold, so there’s much more yet to come!”
 So while our human earth languages and the limitations of words can’t really do justice to anticipating your heavenly reward, thinking about our crowns of life, our reward that He has promised can help to motivate us and give us the grace we need for challenges of life to come.
 The Lord knows you better than anyone else ever could—after all‚ He created you—and He’s going to reward you in ways that will mean the most to you personally.—Maria Fontaine [1]

 In exchange for our … willingness to accept the charity of God, we are given a kingdom. And a beggar’s kingdom is better than a proud man’s delusion. —Donald Miller
