Whole Not Half by Duck


 
Whole Not Half

    I don’t know about you, but people who don’t take an interest or pride in what they are doing drive me crazy. God wants you to take a healthy amount of pride in everything you do. If you don’t do something joyfully it’s better off not done to begin with. Also when someone does half a job and I have to redo it for them I get a little annoyed. I try not to do this to others because I know how annoyed I get when it is done to me. God doesn’t expect us to be perfect, but He does expect us to try to be the best person we can be. He hates for us to be lazy half hearted people.
 
One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.   ~Proverbs 18:9


 
 
God hates laziness. We should do all things as if we were doing them for Him. I don’t know about you, but if I was doing something for God I wouldn’t do only half of it. It should be the same in life. Do everything as if you were doing it for God, because you really are. If you wouldn’t do it for God you shouldn’t do it for anyone else.  God expects us as christians to set good examples to non- believers, and do honest work. Laziness should not charecterize who we are.

 "... and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

                            ~1 Thessalonians 4:11-12


  God wants us to live quiet lives for him. He wants us to serve both our community and our church. Serving in our community will show others how great God is by the work that we accomplish. Serving our church will show God how much we love Him, and that we are willing to work for Him joyfully. He will open doors to tell us where to serve and when to serve, but be prepared because he will also shut doors (we might want to go through) that He doesn’t want us to go through.


     Lastly God wants us to enjoy our life and have fun. He doesn’t want us to be so busy we can’t enjoy the life that he gave us.
