The world is set up on a system of rewards for achievement at school and in the workplace. Why doesn't God use the same system when it comes to our relationship with Him.
Because it's a system that is based on "achievement" and in God's eyes, we don't achieve anything. Everything good that we do... is His doing - so He would never be able to actually reward us - He would only be able to reward Himself. Instead, He gives to us as He sees fit. He uses us and gives to us according to His plan and on His timeline. And while we might struggle because we expect it to be fair - if we keep in mind that everything is a gift - from our every breath to our loftiest ambition realized - we can feel blessed. And that is deeper and far more profound than any expected reward.
