Swag = burden
Burden from all the trials needed to prepare you to manage God's accounts correctly, the added burden of investment and see a return and making sure God gets his end. The burden of not living for self but to serve in an effort to invest yourself and all that has been given in order to reap a profit no matter how your invested/monetarily or time wise. Yes same of us have been blessed but at great personal cost. look at the stories in the bible all the key figures joseph/coat of many colors, samson, Moses, David All who are used by God are first deeply wounded to break the will of the individual and have them elect God's will over their own. This is a brutal process one not required for salvation. So then why would one elect it if the 'swag' is not yours to do with it as you will?
The missing compnet in all of this is love. The love God has for us and the love we experience when we abide by God's rule and can see him blessing our given task with abundance. It can be validation that not only your on the right path but you are being rewarded. The reward here is far more valuable than swag.
