The reward you receive for a job well done is getting a bigger, harder job to do. Many of us believe that once we demonstrate how strong, how good, how smart we are, life should give us a break. We believe we should be home free. Nothing could be further from the truth about the way life works. The trees with the strongest branches and deepest roots are those that have withstood the heavy winds and stormy weather, season after season.
You must never become tired of reaching, stretching, growing and becoming better and better. The old folks called it "moving from glory to glory!" You must always keep in mind that the more you know and the more you can do, the more you will be called upon. Yes, you have a right to be tired. Yes, you are entitled to a much deserved rest. Once you get rested, get ready! Life is going to bring you a big task to preform, a deep mystery to resolve, a harder job to work on, and a greater victory than you have ever had before.
