God made pastors to preach the gospel, but pastors can’t be
everywhere. So he took full-time
ministers, disguised them as electricians, baristas, customer service reps, and
_____________ (fill in your occupation here), and spread them out into every
nook and cranny of the city. Our job as
secret-agent-ministers is to spread light wherever we spend our time.
Don’t have a job outside the home? Me neither.
So I make sure the people I do interact with on that rare, joyous
occasion (Target employees all know me…) get a taste of the life and joy of
serving Christ, even if I’m having a bad day.
I want to represent Him well.
But I’m not a preacher, and I’d be afraid of messing it up
if I tried to lead someone to Christ! – you say. No problem!
All you have to do is invite said co-worker (or Target employee) to visit
your church with you. You don’t have to
make it about them; all you have to do is say something like this: I’ve got the most awesome church – you might
love it! Why don’t you come with me one
of these days?
One last thing… When
working at my job becomes less about me and more about what God wants to do
through me, I can find joy, even when I’m folding laundry, cleaning out the
fridge, or ________________ (insert that yucky part of your job here).
