Love ya Coco =02=05---------------------------------------------------------------------= -------- --------------------- What actions do you display at work? I drive into work listening to gospel music or a pre-recorded sermon on th= e=20 radio. I get out of the car and walk to the building entrance. As I open the building door I leave just enough room for me to ge= t=20 in and I leave Jesus standing outside as the door closes behind me. He's=20 standing with His palms on the door glass and watches me as I get on the=20 elevator. His eyes are sad and He turns and goes to sit on the stone bench= .=20 There He sits patiently and waits for me for the next 9 hours. First two hours of work - I fuss and= =20 complain about things not going right. Jesus, sitting with his chin in His hand looks upward toward the building wishing He could= =20 help me. By lunchtime - I'm flustered, regretting I work in this place and= =20 sputtering bitterness all over folks. Jesus comes around to the side of the= =20 building where my cubicle is located. He looks up from the ground trying to= =20 get my attention but I can't hear him; my focus is on my problems. Jesus go= es=20 back to the front of the building, sits down and continues to wait for me. = He=20 thinks to Himself as He looks up to the third floor, "They went in there defenseless.= =20 If only they had taken me in there with them. When will they learn?" End o= f=20 the day - I'm pooped, run down, no energy, irritable & frustrated. I leave= =20 the building & Jesus gets up happily to greet me but I'm in no mood for Him= =20 now. I've just been to hell and back and the last thing I want to do is be= =20 bothered with anyone. God just actually showed me this is how I'VE been acting. He showed me eac= h=20 act and worst of all, He let me feel a small portion of how grieved he was because of my actions and attitude. I left Jesus standing outside, almost let the door smack him in= =20 His face. From time to time our jobs overwhelm us and we completely forget= =20 to "take Jesus with us". We may not go around cursing anyone out or=20 punching anyone in the face (hopefully not) but what are our actions saying= =20 about us and about whom or whose we are? We are the salt of the Earth and the light of the world. A city on a hill= =20 cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. = =20 Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the=20 house. Matt. 5:13-15. We should be bringing peace to our jobs and not be the cause of confusion. We should be the ones= =20 to bring our gifts & talents to the table to help in WHATEVER area God has chosen for us to work in. Col.3:23-24 "Whatever you= =20 do, work at it with ALL your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, = =20 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a=20 reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. < < < "AND STILL I RISE!" <
