Whatever you find to do.... (Colossians 3:23)

Sometimes we think that our value in general, and in particular, our value to God, is to be found in what we do and, more significantly what we are SEEN to do. But in Colossians we are told that regardless of the title or role we fulfil whether that is full time paid, or entirely voluntary, we are to work at it with every fibre of our being. Because we do not work for the attention or validation for anyone on earth, but because it is the role that God, through the twists and turns of our lives, has revealed to us as his will for us. Fulfilment comes from knowing that we are in the role and place that God has given to us. We can be released from the pressure to endlessly 'Do' when we recognise that first and foremost God's purpose for us is to 'Be' entirely ourselves. Our ultimate destiny is not to achieve anything other than to become more like Christ in our relationship to God, to others and to the world around us.
