I don't really try to be a humble servant for the Lord because of a possible earthly reward, and not even for treasure in heaven either. My only motivating factor is my love of God. There are many times that I fall short in my service to God but at those times I ask for forgiveness and start moving forward once again.

Most of the things you listed, while stated in the bible probably don't happen to most believers, especially item G, and possibly item K as well. Regarding item N, there are those that do not desire to have children but I do believe that all children are a blessing. The item that means the most to me is the last one, item O, but even then, eternal life is not an earthly reward of any sort as it is not earned but only comes through the shed blood of Jesus for the remission of sins and repentance by inviting the Holy Spirit to live in your heart, and to comfort and guide you on your spiritual journey.

Outside of eternal life the most important item for me is item M and trying to apply the Word of God in my life.
