As God is a Spirit, so the rewards that He gives His children are spiritual, and the chief blessings He gives us int his life are spiritual blessings, not gold and silver. He gives Christ, His love, and He fills us with grace. . . . Earthly crowns fade, but the believer's crown, because it is spiritual, is immortal; it is a crown that never fades away. . . . This truth may comfort a Christian in all his labors and sufferings here on earth; he gives of himself to the service of God and has little or no reward here. But remember, God, who is a Spirit, will give spiritual rewards in heaven: the very sight of the face of God, white robes, and weight of glory. Be not then weary of God's service here on earth. Think of the spiritual rewards that await His children in heaven, a crown of glory that will not fade away.—Thomas Watson.
Amen.
