Think of it this way, when our children do well at school or in sport or other public settings, Do people not say, “oh he/she was brought up well” or “he/she comes from a good home”? Doesn’t that praise or honor your child receives roll back to you? And when our children receive prizes, rewards, trophies for doing well, Don’t we beam proudly saying “that’s my son or daughter or that’s my girl or boy”? So do you think God feels the same and/or says the same when or foundation, patience, persecution, fruits and eventual rewards (FPPFR) bring God glory? Our FPPFR is the light that glows or shows from our lives that men and women around us need to see to lead them to God through Christ. Let the world around you see your FPPFR :D;-)O:)
Matthew 5:15-16
15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
