In This Last Hour(1 John 2:18) Bloom and bring forth fruit for Jesus Christ, the only God and Savior--for though the flower fades, His Word stands forever! This world and its pleasures are passing away, but the born-again child of God will abide in His presence eternally.

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!
