God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

Whatever You Do, Do it from the Heart Unto the Lord


One of the things that has helped me more than anything else in everyday life is to do whatever I do from the heart unto the Lord. It changes everything when you learn to practice this.

Whatever our circumstances are, if we will include that in our ways when we do things, it has a way of changing whatever it is we're doing without more effort.

But even the benefits it can have for others pales in comparison to the reality that we have been created from, for and to Him. To do this can become as simple as breathing. Eventually you really don't think about it, you simply live from Him, and from out of your heart give back to Him whatever it is he's given you.

Many times this includes things in relationship to people. It can make a tremendous difference when we relate to others and serve them in any way that is the same way that we would relate or serve the Lord.

There is nothing we can strive or work for here, we just open our hearts and give them to Him, and then from His heart give it back to whoever we are able to at the time.

It's a life-changing experience that we can all partake of as we walk in Him together; not only those we touch, but ourselves as well.
