Colossians 3:23 - Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Our work is both given by God and should be done in service to Him; no matter how small or great the task.

God promises to recognize and reward our efforts whether others do or not. (Matt. 6:19-21; Heb. 6:10).

Further, Jesus taught that if believers do something solely for the recognition of others, they completely miss God's reward.

A Christian's work should be characterized by enthusiasm, confidence, and diligence in work.
