• “Pay attention!”

  
  

  That’s the message i received tonight…  Some exciting things are happening in my life and there are also some tough choices that need to be made… and i started to lose focus a little bit…allowing some thoughts to drift to Earthly perspectives rather than Heavenly ones

  
  

  Ironically, it was PBS that God used to send me the message… “Pay attention!”  Watching this lady, Suze Orman (a financial advisor), talking about building financial freedom… she mentioned something that brought me straight back to center…  “Don’t be in need of the company, but make the company be in need of you.  If they ask you to be there at 8 am.  Be there at 7 am.  If you’re supposed to get off at 5 pm, stay until 7 or 8 pm.  You don’t have to make them notice.  They’ll notice.  Strive to become the hardest working employee your company has ever seen.  It’s not about the money.  The money will come.  Don’t ask for raises, even if you work all those extra hours.  If you do, you’ve become just like everyone else.  Think long-term and build a career.  The money will come.”

  
  

  The point isn’t about money…or the career…or even about becoming the hardest working employee your company has ever seen.  The point is that we are to be a witness, not with so much words (especially complaints), but with the display of our deeds.  You might think that pre-Christians won’t notice.  They’ll notice.  The point is to seek Christ first, to honor Him in the work place… school… the mall… even the restaurant with the waiter who gives bad service…  Your decision to choose your actions wisely or not… they will be noticed… choose wisely so He can add the rest as HE sees fit…

  
  

  So, the motives behind the things we strive for… do they differ from world’s motives? 

  
  

  Pay attention, jaebum!
