It pays to serve the Lord; but don’t serve the Lord because it pays—for if you serve the Lord because it pays, it then may not pay.

Robert G. LeTourneau

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.  He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought.  Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
The Living Bible

This life therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise.  We are not what we shall be but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished but it is going on; this is not the end but it is the road.  All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified.

Martin Luther
