You’re at work right now and the tedious, mundane tasks of your job are really making the day drag on, aren’t they? Can the clock tick ANY slower? We all want that dream job where we can use the talents that God gave us and get paid for it, don’t we? Well, think of it this way: generating invoices, answering customer emails and phone calls or cleaning up after the lunch crowd is just as important as wowing the board room with your superb advertising campaign, designing the company Website and graphics or catering a huge conference without a hitch. You may not get to use your spiritual gifts or God-given talent as your day job, but you can incorporate those gifts into your job, no matter what it is! You can also make a huge difference in everything you do with your attitude. Make your own little world your mission field. So staple those reports with a smile, send your next customer on her way with “Have a blessed day,” or hum along to your favorite Christian song. Share your faith during a coffee break. Listen to a coworker when they’re hurting. Pay the tab at lunch. The brilliant  light of Christ, when it shines within you and pours out all around you, is your gift to share with the world.

“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.” 
– Romans 12:6-8 ESV  

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” 
– Matthew 5:14-16 ESV
