What Work Can I Do Best?

By

The calling that all of us have is not to an immensely fulfilling job, but rather to live our life with Jesus in whatever job we have. It’s true that investment bankers and chemists and editors can do their work with spiritual depth and beautiful fruit just as much as missionaries or pastors. But it’s also true that bus drivers and shelf stockers and janitors can do their work with spiritual depth and beautiful fruit just as much as investment bankers and chemists and editors. It’s not the job that makes the difference, it’s Jesus.

Who Are You Working For?

By

At first it might seem like working a job for the sake of what we get out of it is inevitable. Would you still show up to your job if you didn’t get paid? But there’s a shift in attitude that can bring immense freedom to the way we do our work. We do work “for ourselves,” but in a roundabout way. Doing our work for the sake of others ends up working to our advantage, because it makes us into the kind of people we truly long to become.
