Each will receive his own reward. 1 Corinthians 3:8

The whole town was asleep.  

Sonja dragged herself out of bed, quickly ate breakfast, and cycled to the community ice rink.  There, her coach led her through her skating routine.  For the past three years, every morning had started this way for Sonja.  

At the skating championship finals, the winner was declared.  Sonja!  Her years of work had brought its reward.  

The same thing is true in our Christian life.  If we take time and effort to follow Jesus, our lives will become like His.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to follow You today.  Amen.
