Work
It doesn’t matter where you “work”
It doesn’t matter what you do
“Work” only gets you money, promotions, status, power, success
Work is what matters
Work is invisible but obvious
Work is eternal, wondrous, divine, supernatural
God’s work is our work, we are his workers
You do God’s work no matter where you “work”
You do God’s work no matter what you do
From the top neurosurgeon in the country to the every day local barista, God’s work is not partial to brains
From the top world athlete to the unknown paraplegic, God’s work is not partial to physical ability
Your benefits may start now but full payment comes at the end
Your may taste fruit now but full harvest comes at the feast with the ancient of days
Your “work” doesn’t matter at all
Even your work, tho important, is only God’s grace
Remember: It is by grace you have been saved through
faith
And it is not your
own doing, it is a
gift
from God not a result of
works
So that no one can boast. For we are his
workmanship
created in Christ Jesus for good
works
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV
[the heart of this poem is to free people over-stressed about work, to point you back to what matters; not to invalidate your accomplishments in helping others]
