Toward the goal.

Toward the Goal

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”(Philippians 3: 13-14)

The Brick: At some point, I lost track of the right motive towards my work and it became boring and wearisome. I realized that my reason for working drifted towards establishing status, acquiring material possessions and proving myself to others and this affected my approach to work because my focus on these external metrics drained my energy when the results I sought were delayed. I noticed that I was not at home with myself, that something was definitely out of line and today I share with you the insights I received from God’s word about work.

On work, I do not work for money, fame or status. I work to fulfill the calling of God upon my life. Knowing fully well that I will not live forever in this temple here on earth, I strive forward to answer the calling and purpose of my Creator today and the rest of my days. I work to manifest the grace of God upon my life.

Join me to make this declaration above and take some time to think about it. Maybe you have the right motivation but certain events drained your energy and zest for life. I encourage you to stand up again, to rise again and reconnect to your raison d’etre. Find yourself again.

You effortlessly do your work from a place of purpose and rest not mindless hustle or bustle. You are worthy of living your best life and doing your most excellent work. So commit today to lay aside every weight holding you back or down and rekindle your joy! The goal is the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. This goal is the focus and the compass that will guide your path.

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8)

Your Commitment today: Come home to yourself. Sit with yourself and reconnect with purpose.

Inspired Quote of today:?

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do? what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking"
