Something Bigger Than Our Work

We all crave recognition as humans. We want to be noticed at some level (even the most inconspicuous of us), and when our efforts go overlooked we feel slighted.  Thirteen years into my profession I've learned that I can't allow work to justify my worth. I must fight doggedly against this knowing my weakness is living for the acceptance of others. When I allow work to be my means of self justification I am always lacking. But when my view of work transforms, knowing that I can go at it with all my heart because it is Christ who I am serving, I find freedom.
