PRIDE IN A JOB WELL DONE
By Rich "MR POS" Wilkins
To produce quality products and services today, companies are investing
in the quality process to get their workers to take pride in their
jobs. We constantly hear how important it is to take pride in a job
well done. In order for people to take pride in anything that they
do, they must value what they are doing, and who they are doing it
for. As you become aware of why you are doing something, and the value
to the person or company you are doing it for, it has a very POSitive
impact on the end result. I have found that when we as God's children
accept His loving grace and His Son as our Lord and Savior, we begin
the process of taking pride in every job that we do. When we become
aware of who we are in Christ, we transcend to a spiritual motivation
that calls us to take pride in everything that we do. Paul, who at
one time took pride in persecuting Christians but was transformed
by Jesus, reminds us of taking pride in what we do in Philippians
1:27 by saying, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner
worthy of the gospel of Christ." As Christians we can allow
ourselves to take pride in what we do when it is done in Christ's
name because He expects us to do all things to the best of our ability.
