Whatever you do.

“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Whatever you do. 

Whatever. 

I read Colossians 3:17 in the She Reads Truth thankfulness plan I’m going through right now, and those three words spoke volumes to me.

I wrote this blog a few weeks ago about how my life can feel pretty ordinary sometimes.  Right now, I don’t have anything extravagant going on.  Anyone could do my job.  Nothing spectacular has happened with my writing career yet.  The biggest part of my day is spent typing numbers into a computer.  And honestly, that can make me feel really unimportant at times.

Whatever you do. 


I don’t know about you, but I consider something done as a representative of Jesus extremely important.

Whatever you do. 


So if we’re going to take this verse as truth, that means even the smallest, most minuscule tasks–they are important.  Not because of what they are, but because of how we are supposed to do them: as a representative of Jesus.

Anything and everything, including doing laundry and inputting numbers into a computer, is suddenly important.

That gives me passion for my day.  It gives me motivation to do the best that I can do in every area of my life because of who I’m doing it for.  And it definitely makes me feel important.

Happy Wednesday, friends.  Whatever you do today, do it well.
