There is one job that pays an
infinite
amount,
provides
eternal
restful retirement* benefits,
and offers
supernatural Sovereign health care. . .
.
but it's not your typical job. . .
it doesn't require an 8-hour day or even a 12-hour. . .
it's more like 24-7. . .
yet there isn't particularly the same amount of work to be done each
day,
and the Employer knows there are times
when we feel so sick or sad that we don't think we are doing any "work"
at all. . .
But we are, because it is a job that is based on a relationship with
the Employer,
and because it is a job that measures the devotion and direction of our
heart,
not how much physical or mental effort we put into it on a given day. .
.
It is a job. . .
that is so much more than a job,
it is LIFE.
Serving & Loving God. .
.
Is the Christian's occupation.
I wouldn't
trade my job for the world. . .
"For what
does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, but lose his own
soul?"

*We won't really "retire" as the term is used today--we'll still be
loving God in Heaven--but it will be much easier without the pains and
temptations of down here!
