Eternal Rewards

I was sitting on my couch looking out the window thinking about what to write. A meadowlark and a mourning dove were walking around in the yard singing their beautiful songs. A passage came to mind while watching and listening to them. "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father." Matthew 10:29
God is aware of everything taking place, even with the sparrows. We are much more important to God than sparrows. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16. We should never fear the trials or troubles that come our way. Whether it be illness, money, relationships, or any of the worldly things that can cause us problems and pain, we need to remember we have the love of God and His Spirit within us.
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves . Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16 God did not say that things would always be easy and that there would be no pain or troubles. We need to stand strong in our faith and not falter. If we can stand firm and for Christ, despite of what we go through then our rewards will be great in heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11,12
