The reward

The two guys who risked and increased their master's assets were rewarded. But they were not rewarded with ease and comfort. They were rewarded with more responsibility. As our life for Christ progresses, we should see growth in what God can trust us with. There is no time here on earth for any of us to say, "I've done my share, now let the younger ones carry the load." As we risk and grow, we have to take the lessons learned and trust earned to do more for the kingdom. We must constantly be risking and growing. And we must constantly be increasing our areas of influence and responsibility. I'm not talking about getting involved in more programs or ministries, I'm talking about being a steward that God can trust with big things. Things that would scare a young believer, but that we can take on because we have "been there and done that" with God and we know that when He gives us something to do, it is His already and when we do it we are really risking nothing. The outcome is in God's hands. He knows what he is doing. He'll get'r done through us.

It will be awesome.

Then Heaven.

Sweet.
