Do All You Do as Unto God

Colossians 3: 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25
 

You make a difference. You matter. What you do matters. Your words can be used to build up and encourage or they can be words that bring death. Do you really want to make a difference for God with your life? Do you want to impact the earth during your life span? Do whatever you do faithfully as unto the LORD.

You may not believe you are valuable but you are. Jesus Christ gave his life for you. You are worth much to God. He chose you, placed you in your mother's womb. God created you on purpose. He placed within you gfts and talents. He designed you your personality, the unique things about you are all bits of God's glory poured on you that you might make a difference with your life.

Psalm 139: 13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be

No two people are the same. If you give your best - it may not be the same as someone else. You may not have the same measure of talent or training in that area but you most certainly have your porion. Use your education and training. Use all opportunities to get as much skill and knowledge and education while you live. anything you acquire becomes a strength that God can use you in. If you will use what you have, God can give you more. If you will give your personal best, you will impact a sphere of influence around you - this includes the people taught you directly connect with but also those who observe you.

There are always observers. No matter how insignificant it seems to hold a door for someone as an act of kindness or to help someone carry groceries or whether or not you give a special effort to help someone at your job, there are people you may not even know about who observe. Most certainly in the realm of the supernatural, your actions, your words are noticed by angels.

1. Determine to get all the education and training you can in areas of your talents or interests.
2. Practice and improve. Make a commitment to yourself and to God that you will keep learning and self - improving for God's glory.
3. Give your best personal effort as much as possible. Aim for excellence.
4. Apologize for any wrong word or action immediately. Keep your heart pure.
5. Pray each day that God will help you develop your talents and gifts so He can use you in your job, in your school, in your interactions with people in society.
6. Use opportunities to show genuine love and compassion for others; you will impact them with your love. Jesus is our role model.
7. Even if the tasks you are given seem small - such as sorting papers or organizing things, do it so that is the best possible. Whatever you do, do it with all your effort so as to show excellence. 

You will impact your generation by doing your daily tasks with zeal and passion. You will show forth the glory of God by giving your personal best in your words and actions. Your life is a witness of God's light in your life. You can choose to do whatever you can do with all your being or to do nothing. You determine the effect by your effort.

Do you want to impact your generation? Live wholly unto God and do all you do as though you are personally serving God.
