KNOW YOUR BOSS
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people. – Ephesians 6:7
I
was trained to serve God with the best of my abilities. It may be
carrying the speakers and instruments, mopping the floor, or arranging
the chairs but I would do it without any complaint. In my heart, I knew I
was serving a God who deserves no less than my best.
But, I wasn’t able to apply this principle in my corporate job. For me,
it was just about meeting deadlines, perfecting attendance, and merely
doing what I was expected to do.
When I listened to one of the talks of Bo Sanchez, I had a change in
perspective. He invited the people to give their best in their current
field because it’s not about getting the approval of your boss but of
honoring God who gave you the ability to work. I decided to work hard
and learn the different angles of the industry. I started to do more
than what I was expected.
Now, I am working full-time for the Light of Jesus Family under Bo, and
I carry the same principles he taught me. I do my best for my audience
of One — Jesus Christ Himself. Jan Carlo Silan (jan@makatifeast.com)
Reflection: Do you do things to please people or to please God? Are you looking for affirmation from others or from God?
Lord, You are my Boss. Remind me that You gave me the talents to serve a great purpose in my life. Amen.
St. Narcissus of Jerusalem, pray for us.
