Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.(NIV)

Paul tells us that we are to do all things will all our heart. With our innermost being working towards accomplishing whatever is set before us. We don't work for men. We all work for God. You don't work for your boss, you don't work for a paycheck, you don't work for your children or your spouse. You work for God. So do it with all your heart. Don't be divided in your heart over whether this person deserves your best or does this project require the energy I have put in to it. Do it all for God. Our work, whether paid or unpaid, is done in service to God and not men and we do it so that our Father in heaven will be glorified. This is hard to do some days when we don't feel appreciated or that our work doesn't make any sort of difference and we wonder if anyone even notices what we have done. Know this, God sees what you have done and according to this passage has an inheritance in store for you. Work today with all your heart.
