God knows how long each one of us will live. The span of our lives is brief, several decades at most. Because God in His love wants to reward you richly one day, He gives you opportunities every day of your life to sow many seeds. Which hours in particular will bring a rich harvest when your life is over? — Those hours which you have dedicated to Him. As a proof of your love, give Him more time. He is waiting for this and will reward you for it — both here and in eternity.

Why does the heavenly Father say so much about rewards? Rewarding is a joyful expression of love. Love always has to give and reward, even when there is not much to reward. Our heavenly Father loves deeply and rewards abundantly. This is why Jesus challenges us as children of our heavenly Father to have the same attitude: ‘You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.’ (Matthew 5:48)

Do you find it hard to believe in God’s merciful love? Then consider this: In heaven God will reward us for even the smallest things, although He really does not need to reward us for anything. What would become of us if God were to weigh our actions? Imagine what would happen if He put all our sins and failures onto one scale, and all that we have done for love of Him onto the other. The scale with the sins would be much the heavier. Yet still He rewards us for the smallest cup of cold water we have given to one of our brothers. When we are faced with our sins and failings, this thought helps us to believe that God acts not according to our sins but according to His great mercy.

God is a true Father. A good father pays attention even to the smallest thing his child does. How much more so our Father in heaven! The smallest thing we do in secret — a small sacrifice, an act of kindness — is noted by God. He treasures it in His heart and, one day, will reward us openly when, as the great Rewarder, He gives everyone his reward at the Last Judgment. Should not God’s love overwhelm us? He rewards us sinners for the smallest act of love and keeps a record of our tears. Remember this love in the darkest hours. Then your trust will know no bounds, just as God’s love knows no bounds. (Matthew 6:4, Psalm 56:8)
