This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

We don't serve God to get a reward, but there's nothing wrong with expecting one,

because that's what the Bible tells us is headed our way.

Rewards are headed your way, so you might as well look forward to them and get excited about it.

And so sometimes I can even start to feel like

I'm always comforted by knowing God knows. Can you remember today that God knows everything that you're doing?
