Working

Last night my dad gave me ANOTHER lecture about working and that work is not a curse and that we should love to work and how to love work, and all that, and today i had the chance to apply it.
I had to paint two rooms twice. Usually i hate to do something so monotonous but this time i didn't notice it, time just flew by just because i tried not to think about how boring it is. (it wasn't)

There's a difference between work and futility in work. And this time it wasn't a futile job because the paint was just right and the method was good (long pole with roller). But the most important thing is to realize that you're not working for money, for the boss, for yourself or for free; but that you're working for God and that you must do it as for Him. Really. No mind -bending here. Its not just a mind-set, its true. We belong to Jesus Christ, and we answer to Him. If you do your work as for Him, He will repay you for every work you do just as much as a missionary's work. Theologically sound. Study it out.

I work for God.
