They say that if you do something you love and enjoy, you will never work a day in your life.

I would tell you that it is better to do something meaningful than something enjoyable.

It is far better to give your life to something of eternal significance than temporary pleasure. Connecting to another human being in the name of Jesus has no equal. That does not mean the work is easy, and some days it is not enjoyable. But when I reflect on my life and how I have experienced the love of others, seen the transformation of people, and helped some rebuild after devastation, I cannot imagine doing anything else.

The wonderful thing about the message of Jesus is that any work you do can have meaning. Your life can touch coworkers and customers every day. You can demonstrate a different life and value system than everyone else. You can be an example of someone with a different set of priorities in your work ethic, water cooler talk, and kind spirit through disappointments.

When people look back on your life, the majority will not care what you did for a living; they will care about how you showed them Jesus while you did the work.
