Serve Wholeheartedly

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.
Ephesians 6:7

The passage this scripture comes from is referring to slaves and how they should serve their master. I don't believe many of us have actual masters we must obey as in the older days of this world, but we all to have someone we take orders from or a boss in some capacity. I like looking at this scripture in a wider range. Someone asked you to do something, you accept the challenge but really don't do your best at the task? Then you didn't serve wholeheartedly as if you were serving Christ. I have done this as well but I tell ya when you do serve with your whole mind, body and soul it makes a difference. You may be totally exhausted but in the end it is so much more worth it knowing you did your absolute best and noone can say you didn't. It doesn't matter the task that was asked of you if you do it with the right heart and all of you it will work out and be a blessing to someone else. Think about this little scripture next time someone asks a favor of you and do your best as if it were Christ asking it of you.

God bless...
