Who are you loving?

Matthew 5:46 asks what reward will you get if you love those who love you.
Which begs the question: what reward are you seeking?
If you seek man's reward, it is short lived and fickle.
If you seek God's, it's eternal and sure.

Colossians 3:24 says you know you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. Then, it goes on to say: It is the Lord Christ you are serving. [Implication: it is not man you are serving or seeking to serve.]

The Bible reminds us continually we will be rewarded according to what we have done (or my thought here ~ who we have loved). [Psalm 62:12; Matthew 16:27; Ephesians 6:8; and Revelation 22:12]

Matthew 6 teaches us God sees us in private and rewards us. Our reward is from God and not man.

Who are you serving?
How well are you loving?
