Your Work Is Not Wasted When It Belongs to the Lord
Colossians 3:23-24 re-centers ordinary work, school, and side projects on Jesus instead of approval.
Your work does not need applause to matter.
Your work is not wasted when it belongs to the Lord.
Colossians 3:23-24 gives ordinary effort a new center. You can answer emails, study, apply, build, clean, or serve with a steady heart when the Lord is the one you are serving.
That does not make every task exciting. It makes every task honest. You do not have to chase human approval to give your best today.
