Think on This: Our Supreme Desire
“Our calling as Christians is to bring glory to the name of God. God’s name represents His character. As Christians, we carry the name of our Savior. The way we live and relate to others is a direct reflection on the name of Christ. Our supreme desire should be to glorify the name of God by the way we live.” — Experiencing God Day-by-Day

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV)
