As it pertains to work…a secure identity in Jesus will either:
1. Light your contribution at work on fire. You will blaze with clarity and confidence in who you are in Christ and how your mission overflows to the world.
2. Give you direction about what preparation you need to make so you can shift into passionate work.
For some of you it’s not that you need to change careers.
-Find a way to know your fears and pain. Name them.
-Invite Jesus to teach you and show you how He heals them.
-Let that healing flow through you to others. I know you hurt. Where you hurt now is where you will help heal others later.
There’s a big difference between a firefighter who rescues others to prove his worth to the world and a firefighter who rescues others because the rescue he receives in Jesus makes him worthy.
The isn’t cliche Christianity. One works to get. One works to give. One has energy and clarity to lead well at home and work. One is confused and hurting.
One needs work to feel whole. (I used to be that guy.)
