Colossians 3:22-23. "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
MUTUAL REASONABLENESS. Serving others without pay can cause deep resentment. The roles we have been given may to us seem unfair. But a servant who serves as to the Lord has a contentment, That extends to the master when their lives, they both share.
Labor to be seen really doesn't fool anyone. The evidence of their labor can be seen in their work. It is not only the boss you have to deal with when the day is done. The Lord also sees and knows every responsibility you shirk.
True service is not just what we can see and observe, Because some things we do take much longer than others. The principle of life we must follow when others we serve - Is to serve men with our heart, the same as we do our heavenly Father.
We cannot do everything, but when our responsibility is known, We do it as to the Lord and not just to men. A labor and work done with the heart is easily shown To be a blessing to all concerned when the labor is done.
When we serve men with our heart, we are serving the Lord. The earthly master will be pleased with the labor we do. Those who are blessed will be able to trust your word - And you will find a satisfaction personally when the task is through.
"Heavenly Father, the efforts put forth by many for just personal gain leaves them discontented and unhappy. May those who serve others find a joy in doing what they do as unto Thee. I pray this for myself as the kind of labor I do is changing somewhat. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
