Isaiah 40:31 says, “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

We call these rewards “happies” or jewels. God is that personal, and you will know that it is from a personal God because only He knows your individual and specific wishes.
