praise for what??

Wednesday March 2nd, 1 Corinthians 4: 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. For some their identity is bound up in being a victim, either at the hand of others or at the hand of self. For the majority however, their main problem is feeling they are right and that their conscience is clear, they never see the victims in their wake. Paul tells us to just wait, sort of like the warning, just wait until your father/mother gets home. What happens when the Lord returns??? At that time each will receive their praise from God?!?!?! But, but, praise for what?? Praise for simple being a child of God, and that is enough.
