"I'm so sick of my job!" "I feel so depressed." "Life is so stressful!" Statements like these are common place among people I minister to as a local church pastor. It seems that many people, christian and non-christian alike, are stuck in a rut in their every-day lives. A job transition or relationship change may seem to be the answer, but usually it isn't. There is a key to happiness that the follower of Jesus Christ has access to, and it is this; Joyfully Give Jesus Your Best! Colossians 3:23 says "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward." It can be un-fulfilling to work for an earthly boss or go through the mundane routines of life, but if we do things wholeheartedly as unto the Lord, then suddenly life has true significance! As you give your best and "bloom where you're planted", you will shine your light for Jesus and make a positive difference in this world.
