While serving the Lord or being a Christian, I have a lot of things to sort out. One thought that is always nagging me is whether I love my work (serving the Lord full time) more than the Lord. In the world, people are lucky if they have an occupation that they love. In the world's eyes, I am very fortunate; I love what I do. But what about in God's eyes?
Today, I was enjoying Isaiah 51:2b "For I called him [Abraham] when he was one person, and blessed him and multiplied him." After reading this, I prayed "Lord, bless me by blessing the young people [that I am serving]." But because of some guilty feeling, I continued to pray "Lord, this makes me happy. Is it because I love my work? Yes, I do. The thing that I like about my work is that I love it when people come to You and touch You. Lord, that satisfies me. Does this satisfy You? Lord, some people may feel that to love working for You is not being pure with You or something. Lord, what do you think?"
Dear brothers and sisters, what do you think? There can be some danger in loving my work more than the Lord or the people that I serve. But don't you feel that I can love my work properly?
