"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
There are plenty of reasons to get discouraged. I tell myself, "God's got this!" and I keep going. I don't allow myself to think thoughts like, "What if?" I refuse to get my eyes off what God has called me to do, and on to what others are doing. I found I am too busy to pay attention to others, when I am paying attention to what God has called me to do.
Each day I do what I believe God has called me to do with everything I got. If it's clean house, I clean like it's God's house--because it is! When I cook, I cook like I am serving God because the family I cook for belong to Him. I do laundry as unto the Lord. I look at it like this, if I do everything as unto the Lord then the Lord will be the one that sees it, and rewards it. This keeps me from being discouraged when others fail to notice or applaud my accomplishments. This keeps me from being discouraged because others have more, or get to do more. I tell myself, "The line is moving and I am next in line." This kind of self talk makes me smile on the inside. When I smile on the inside the corners of my lips start to turn up.
Action Step: Today, give it try. Do everything as unto the Lord. See what a difference it makes. Don't stop to throw stones as all the barking dogs, and one day those dogs just might be your friend. Who knows? You may be headed in the same direction. Only difference is their barking and your smiling!
