Well-spoken words bring satisfaction; well-done work has its own reward.  Proverbs 12:14 (The Message)

How often are we satisfied with the job we have done and seek no more reward than the knowledge of having done well?  Our society promotes going after awards and accolades.  We don’t feel good about our performance unless we get first place, win the game, hear applause, or get the promotion – yet do we ask ourselves was it well done, regardless of what others may think?  Isn’t doing the task well enough?  Our desire should be to live our lives so well that we hear from our Savior, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”  This will be the greatest of all rewards – disintegrating all earthly rewards by its brilliance.
