When I read that passage, I thought about Job who lost everything and then got it all back. This is definitely new thinking for me.

I've been thinking about the repayment in this life and what it could mean or what form it would take. I'm sure it isn't monetary, although that may be part of it for some people. Is it the satisfaction of having done God's will, followed His command and brought His message to souls who really needed to hear it. I was thinking especially of some of the missionaries I know or knew. None of them amasses monetary wealth. I never asked any of them directly what they "got out of it". I know one of the latest I've talked to (she died last year), was in many ways a very headstrong woman. She did not want to live under her father's yoke. She might even have said that she was abused. She was telling me this while we were sitting at my dying mother's bedside and I was not totally concentrating on Helen. Anyway, she became a missionary well-known for her good works and the message she spread. She was quite different from two other missionaries I knew who were much more self-effacing. Yet God was able to use both the more abrasive and the more quiet personality. I remember Helen talking about a special name that the people to whom she ministered had given her. I have heard some Christian speakers say that feeling self-satisfied with what we do for God is a selfish thing. And I would agree. But then what does the "repayment" in this case consist of? What did Jesus feel when He did He knew that He was doing His father's will? Just a quick comment to Luke 18: 29-30.

I’ve been thinking about the repayment in this life and what it could mean or what form it would take. I’m sure it isn’t monetary, although that may be part of it for some people.
