Our attitude

Our sole concern is to love God and to please Him. When we realize that God loves us and is always with us, we should devote our life to Him and love Him. In our daily chore of discharging our work and duties, we are also showing our love for God. Graciously allowing a vehicle to merge in front of you, greeting your demanding employer with a smile, and cleaning up the table, are all opportunities to demonstrate our love for God. In the parable of the sheep and the goats, Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me" (Matthew 25:35-36) The righteous people described there wondered when they had done any of those things for Him. Therefore, Jesus explained, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40 ) As we seek and discover God's presence, let us respond with love. Let us ask God to help us to understand that everything we do for those around us, regardless of their status, is something we do for Him
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.
