And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24

 Over the past 5 days my wife and I took a much needed trip to the Tennessee mountains in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Asheville North Carolina at the Biltmore Estate. We had a wonderful time and got some much-needed rest. While there we did a lot of shopping; one thing I noticed as we visited each store and restaurant was the customer service. Some business employees were very friendly and welcoming, while others were just there and lacked any form of happiness. It spoke volumes about the businesses and how they valued their employees.

 As a child of God, you are expected to put forth your very best in everything you do. From your job where employed, to your interactions with others, wherever life takes you. You are a child of God and represent the character of Jesus Christ. It’s hard to find joy in working for someone who isn’t the friendliest or that rude customer who cut you off in the check out line, but your actions speak volumes to whom you belong.

 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

 You belong to God! Show Him the respect He so rightly deserves by acting like His representative. Without your righteous living, no one will see the light of Christ. Live rightly for Him today! God bless!
