In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25), the master of the house blesses the two servants who were good stewards of what they had been given. These servants took what they were given and doubled it. Their blessing: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things."
So, we worked hard and now, as a reward, we have more work to do?...
Sounds fishy, but here's the catch: doing the work of the Lord brings us joy because it is what we were designed to do.
Pursue selflessness, receive joy.
Pursue joy, receive emptiness.

Well said. :-)
Amen!!
It's funny how often we get it mixed up and go after the joy instead. I need a constant reminder to be selfless.
Thanks Sara! Love you!
