Serve Wholeheartedly

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

Ephesians 6:5-9

Passion is a key aspect of our personal lives. Our heart attitude toward the LORD is revealed in how we serve Him. The apostle Paul said that our service includes the way we go about our daily work.

We have a heavenly Father who loves each one of us deeply and sacrificed His Son for each one of us. How can we do anything less than our very best for Him?

The love of God motivates us to live for God.
