Loving Your Work
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Do you love your job? I got to thinking about
that this morning and came to the realization
that I have one of the best jobs in the world. As
the owner of LordsArt.com, I have the privilege
of being exposed to the best the Christian art
world has to offer every single day. I get to
interact and work with men and women of God
who have been gifted by God with unique talents
and they use those talents to honor and glorify
my God. They receive the inspiration for their
work from the Master Artist who used the
vastness of our universe as His own canvas.
And through their inspiration I am inspired as I
am surrounded each day with images that remind
me of the grace, mercy and love that flows from
the heart of God.
In addition to the pleasure I receive from being
involved in the Christian art world, my pleasure
is doubled up because of the customers I work
with. I enjoy helping them find the piece of
Christian art that speaks directly to their heart and
as is the case in any business setting, occasionally
problems arise with their orders. I have yet to deal
with a customer who has failed to exhibit the
graciousness one would expect when dealing with
Christian brothers and sisters. I am truly blessed.
One of my favorite bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11
and it seems to speak directly to my situation. “For
I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.”
