And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 NIV
I am constantly reminded to do what I do with thanks and grace, making sure I am humble and grateful, showing God's love in all I do. I'm also constantly reminded that us pitiful humans fail miserably at this. Every. Single. Day.
It's not that I'm not grateful. But my propensity for human kindness is limited in my current physical body. I personally think God has a sense of humor and gave us all these directions he knew we couldn't follow just to see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into. And it's a lot. My heart and my mind say two different things, warring with each other over the tiniest stuff. Again, cue God's smirk as he watches me figure it out.
And really it's what it's all about. Us figuring this thing out day by day as we grow closer to eternity. It's like daily deposits into the ultimate retirement account. It drains you now but the payoff is huge. So I'll keep messing it up and fixing it and messing it up again. So will you. So will all of us.
Keep smiling and moving forward.
