Okay, maybe you wouldn't do it for those reasons alone. In fact, students at many colleges are finding good financial reasons to become a leader. Not bad, considering such roles have normally been for volunteers. Yet some universities are maintaining that the reward should be the experience. Granted, we're under a lot of financial pressure.
Bills have to be paid.
We have to work just to survive. But if money is the main factor in our decisions about how we use our time, we're missing out on even greater rewards. When we are asked to give our free time to serve our church or a campus Christian organization, we may struggle with how much we want to get involved, if at all. If we're not getting paid for it, we may not take it very seriously. We need to work hard at looking beyond payday and anticipate the day when the Lord will reward us for how well we have served Him.
