“Behold, I come quickly, and My reward with Me, to render to every one as his work shall be” (Rev. 22:1212And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:12) JND). Our Lord’s statement to us humbles the soul. Of the work given to Him, He could say, “I have finished the work Thou gavest Me to do.” He shall have the joy of the fruit of the travail of His soul. Will our Lord be able to say to us, when He reviews with us the work He gave us to do, “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord”? A look of pleasure on His face as one’s life is reviewed would be a satisfactory reward for a lifetime of seeking to serve Him. His love should motivate us; the thought of a “well done, good and faithful servant” might well humble us and stir us to seek to bring pleasure to His heart. While He will give rewards, to have given joy to Him will be an everlasting reward of joy for our own hearts.
