We have all had good and bad experiences with this wonderful but sometimes problematic annual rite of passage in corporate America. It is always helpful to know what is expected of you and to hear from your superiors how they think you are doing.
As Christians we must never forget that ultimately our real employer is our heavenly Father. Because of the price He paid for our redemption we should have a passion to live our lives in reckless abandonment to His will.
His expectations are very clear as we are going about our everyday lives we are to be spreading the aroma of His grace to all of the people we come in contact with in every situation. Our lives should be living epistles to be known and read by all at home, at work and in the normal patterns of life.
As we unconditionally minister grace to other people we are earning the trust and opportunity to share with them the reason of the hope that lies within us. Our conviction is that stuff and success don’t really matter in the end but what we have done to move others toward knowing Christ does.
Jesus said it so clearly that it cannot be missed as the Father has sent Him into world He now sends us. We are to be storytellers of His personal grace and compassion in our lives and hope givers for all the broken people who live in utter despair.
During my final performance review I only want to hear one comment, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
