The Bonus

Sincere, consecrated people thrive in doing good—prosperity, usefulness is a reward: “A faithful man shall abound with blessings” (Proverbs 28:20a). As the abundance of those blessings overflow, the excess will touch something or someone nearby. When God blesses His faithful children, others benefit as their lives interact. But our motivation should not be centered on receiving or sharing God’s blessings, instead sincerely wanting to love, serve, and know more about the Giver of all good gifts. Obediently follow the Lord. He knows best, choosing when and how much to bless and who benefits from our faithfulness.
