My mother used to tell me man gives the award God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

God gave us faculties for our use each of them will receive its proper reward. Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher.

If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.

The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

God in His wisdom has decided that He will reward no works but His own.

Before we can know God and understand his great plan it is first necessary for us to believe that he exists and that he rewards all who diligently seek him.

In the world at large people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden cause and effect labor and reward are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension then the more gardens in the world the more justice the more sense is created.

There's a wealth of literature out there which hopefully will be you know exploded in the future and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling and sort of legendary characters.
