Paul knew he was going to receive a crown of righteousness for doing the work and living the life God called him to. However, I believe greater than the desire to receive a crown was the longing in his heart to see his savior. So I ask you again, what is the longing of your heart? My simple prayer for you is that you would pursue and desire Christ more than anything else. Blessings are fine but set your heart on the blesser because in him you will find everything your heart is desiring.
