Whatever You Do Matters

By Kay Heitsch

Everything you do matters. ~ Colossians 3:23 Quotes

When I think back on the many jobs I had, I found that when I kept the mindset that I was working for the Lord and not people, I didn't feel taken advantage of.

If people appreciated things I did, that was great, but if no one did, somehow I didn't care. I knew that everything I did mattered to the Lord.

Our Bible verse says. Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 NLT

It's amazing how our mindset and attitude change when we see whatever we do as working for the Lord and not people.

Everything you do matters.

What To Do

God will show you what to do next. Just keep praying. ~ One Step At A Time Quotes ~

I believe many times we pray and expect God to do everything. However, most of the time when we pray, God shows us what to do. There are things we can easily do, but we don't want to. We want God to do it for us.

Our Bible verse says. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8 NIV

God will instruct us and teach us what we should do. He won't do everything for us. God always keeps His loving eye on us.

God will show you what to do next. Just keep praying.

Be A Blessing

By Kay Heitsch

Do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return, and you will never be disappointed. ~ Always Blessed Quotes ~

Many years ago, I went over and above to help a family. One day, the mother asked what I was expecting in return. I responded that I wasn't expecting anything.

I can still remember the blessing I felt being able to respond in this way. I found that being a blessing can actually be our purpose and make our life and others' worth living.

Our Bible verse says. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:17

Jesus taught us to be a blessing to others. When we are, we will be blessed.

Do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return, and you will never be disappointed.

When It's Possible

Life is too short not to live in peace. ~Living In Peace Quotes ~

Our days and lives would be so much better if we would strive to live in peace.

To do that, sometimes we may need to change the channel on the TV and be careful what we look at on the internet.

Other times, there are people in our lives we may need to peacefully confront who are always causing drama. If there's a misunderstanding, it needs to be settled.

Our Bible verse says. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 NIV

When it's possible, we need to do our part to live in peace.

Life is too short not to live in peace.

Be Aware

You are loved beyond measure. ~ Be Aware Of God's Love Quotes~

When we live aware of God's love, it changes the way we think about ourselves and others. We have a respect for ourselves, knowing we are a precious child of God.

Our Bible verse says. “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you. Jeremiah 31:3

We are drawn to God by His lovingkindness. He loves us with an everlasting love! Never forget that!

You are loved beyond measure.

Let God

God's strength is greater than our weakness. ~ Inspirational Quotes

Once we realize that God will fight our battles and that His strength is greater than our weakness, we have a sense of freedom. What people say or do doesn't bother us so much. We let God fight for us.

It's not so easy to be silent when someone comes against us. We want to lash out, but if we want the LORD to fight for us, we need to be silent.
