Now that you've caught your breath and have gotten over being angry about my last post, let me simply remind Christians that all we do should be for God's glory, not our own.
Only the things we do for Him will be of eternal value. Every other task will pass away, and eventually be forgotten about. But not the ways we work for His kingdom.
Scrubbing toilets to hear someone say what a good toilet scrubber we are, or to pride ourselves on being the neighborhood's best toilet scrubber, is pointless. Who cares. But scrubbing our toilets for the sanitation of our home, and thereby keeping our family and those who enter our home healthy so they can learn about Jesus, meet Jesus, and then follow Jesus...now that is valuable.
In our quest for excellence in our home and lives, let us not become too focused on our own achievements or glory, but rather let us make our homes so we can point others to our God.
Everything else is just vanity.
